The Telangana High Court requested the Chief Secretary to remove HYDRAA Commissioner A V Ranganath, observing that an officer facing 63 contempt cases could not continue in office. The Court made the observation while hearing contempt petitions related to disputed land in Medchal-Malkajgiri.
The Telangana High Court sharply criticised the State government and HYDRAA over alleged violations of its orders in a land dispute. The Court initially ordered Army deployment to protect the property but deferred the direction after the Advocate General assured there would be no further interference.
