Kasinadhuni Poorna Mallikarjunudu (December 1901 – 31 August 2001) was an Indian politician and lawyer from Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. He was a member of the Rajya Sabha from 1966 to 1972, representing Andhra Pradesh.[1] He had earlier been a member of the Madras Legislative Council from 1937 to 1940.[2]
Early life and career
Mallikarjunudu was born in December 1901 in Yelakurru Agraharam, a village in Pamarru Mandal, Krishna district (then in the Madras Presidency). He obtained a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Law, and practised as a lawyer in Krishna District, where he was appointed Public Prosecutor.[1]
He was elected to the Madras Legislative Council in 1937 under the Government of India Act 1935. On 31 March 1938, he moved a resolution in the assembly supporting the demand for a separate Andhra province for Telugu-speaking people, part of the broader Andhra movement for linguistic statehood.[2]
Rajya Sabha tenure
Mallikarjunudu was elected to the Rajya Sabha on 3 April 1966, and his term ended on 2 April 1972.[1] During the 1969 Indian National Congress split, he joined the Indian National Congress (Organisation) led by S. Nijalingappa.
In the Rajya Sabha, he participated in debates on judicial and constitutional matters, including discussions on the Judges (Inquiry) Bill (1968) and the Foreign Marriage Bill (1969). He filed a note of dissent on the latter, arguing it should be a self-contained measure rather than an extension of the Special Marriage Act, 1954.[3]
Publications
Mallikarjunudu wrote two pamphlets on constitutional matters: Constituent Assembly and Its Work (1946), published by the Congress Publication Board, and Some Hints to the Constitution Makers (1948), a memorandum submitted to the Constituent Assembly.[1]
Mallikarjunudu died on 31 August 2001 at the age of 99. His death was noted in Rajya Sabha proceedings on 19 November 2001.[1]
