- High Court to deliver verdict on April 22
The Telangana High Court has postponed its verdict on petitions related to the Justice PC Ghose Commission, pushing the decision to April 22. The matter has drawn significant attention due to its connection with alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram project.
A bench led by the Chief Justice, along with another judge, had earlier completed extensive hearings on multiple petitions challenging the commission. The court was initially expected to deliver its judgment this week but chose to defer the decision.
The Justice PC Ghose Commission was constituted to investigate alleged issues in the construction and maintenance of key barrages including Medigadda, Annaram, and Sundilla. The commission was set up through a government order issued in March 2024.
Several prominent figures, including former Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, former minister T Harish Rao, and senior officials, approached the court questioning the validity of the commission. Their petitions were heard in detail over multiple sessions.
With arguments concluded, the delay in verdict has added to the anticipation surrounding the case. The upcoming decision is expected to have both legal and political implications given the scale and importance of the Kaleshwaram project.
Observers say the judgment could play a crucial role in shaping further action related to the commission’s findings and the broader debate around accountability in major infrastructure projects.
