The Telangana High Court will deliver orders on Friday in a writ petition challenging the appointment of DGP Shivadhar Reddy. Petitioner T. Dhangopal Rao alleged the appointment violated Supreme Court guidelines as the list of senior IPS officers was not forwarded to the UPSC.
Senior counsel L Ravi Chander, representing the petitioners, argued that the Endowment department had violated the religious rights guaranteed under Constitution by seeking options from the Archakas of various temples to give options for their transfer from one temple to another.
