Welcome to Badrachalam Bar AssociationFrom its very inception, the Bhadrachalam Bar Association has been in the vanguard of the movement for upholding, maintaining and consolidation of the judicial values in our democratic country, rule of law and independence of Judiciary. The Bhadrachalam Bar Association was formed long back when the British reign was in India and the members of Barristers, Vakils and Sanads used to represent the matters before the presiding officers of the courts. The agency courts presided over by the Revenue authorities and they were discharging the judicial functions to solve the civil and criminal disputes as per the A.P. Agency Rules, 1924 and Old Cr.P.C. 1898 and the laws in vogue. The system was in force during British reign. After the Independence of India, Governor of the State is vested with the judicial powers. More particularly with regard to Agency areas where civil Courts were not established, The Governor is responsible for the administration of the Scheduled Areas functions through the District Collector who acts as Agent of the Governor so far as the Scheduled Areas in the District concerned. As the Scheduled Areas are under the immediate control of the Agent (District Collector) they are called Agency Areas also. The Scheduled Areas are determined by an order made by the President under paragraph 6 of the said Fifth Schedule. The President has also power to amend that order from time to time, so as to delete certain areas as Scheduled Areas. As per the territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction and in order to allocate the judicial powers the following powers are vested with the following judicial officers.
Later in the year 1992 the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh established a Mobile Court at Bhadrachalam, having territorial jurisdiction to render justice to the Civil and Criminal litigations in entire Agency area of Khammam District. The said Court is being presided over by the Revenue Divisional Officer. In the year 2006 the Hon’ble High Court of A.P. has been pleased to direct the State Govt. to establish Criminal Courts in Agency Area, on the Writ Petition filed by Sri P.V. Krishnama Chary, Advocate, the President of Bhadrachalam Bar Association which was reported in 2006 (2) ALT 583.
