Consider holding polls to Telangana State Police Association within five weeks, High Court tells DGP

The court was dealing with writ plea filed by Head Constable Allapur Janardhan challenging the actions of Police Department

Hyderabad: Justice B Vijaysen Reddy of Telangana High Court directed the Director General of Police, Telangana, to consider conducting elections to Telangana State Police Association within a period of five weeks.

Allapur Janardhan, Head Constable at Raikode police station, had filed the writ plea challenging the actions of the Police Department in not conducting the Association elections as per GO No. 113. Counsel for the petitioner brought to the court’s notice that despite an earlier order passed by the High Court directing DGP to consider holding the elections, the DGP failed to comply with the court’s order. Further it violated GO No. 113, the petitioner argued.
