After the nonsensical and futile legal squirmish with AP SEC here, incumbent AP Govt took the following legal step. The Andhra Pradesh Ordinance No. 5 of 2020 Promulgated on 10 April 2020 was first marked as confidential soon after its approval, but placed it in the public domain later in the evening as reported here.
