Around 40 advocates from both the groups were taken into preventive custody and forcibly shifted outside the main gate of the court while they held protests inside the court premises, police said.
Samaikyandhra advocates group wanted to form a human chain from the High Court premises towards Madina Circle while pro-Telangana group, opposing the same, tried to obstruct it and sought to take out a rally.
Subsequently, police intervened and brought the situation under control, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Zone) Tarun Joshi told PTI.
The protesting advocates belonging to both the regions raised slogans and counter slogans near the court premises.
Seemandhra advocates accused their counterparts from Telangana region of "attacking" them when they were planning to form a human chain against the move to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh. However, pro-Telangana advocates asserted that they were attacked by Seemandhra advocates.
