Telangana HC Orders DGP to Produce HYDRAA Chief Ranganath

The Telangana High Court has directed the Director General of Police to ensure the personal appearance of HYDRAA Commissioner A.V. Ranganath before the court on Tuesday, November 17, after he failed to attend a hearing despite receiving summons.

During Wednesday’s hearing, November 11, the High Court expressed serious displeasure over Ranganath’s absence. The court questioned his failure to comply with its directions requiring him to appear personally.

The court dismissed Ranganath’s petition seeking exemption from personal appearance. It made clear that he must attend the next hearing and directed the DGP to ensure his presence.

The High Court also rejected a similar exemption request concerning the Shamshabad Tahsildar. It directed the Cyberabad Police Commissioner to ensure that the revenue official appears before the court on the next hearing date.

The latest directions came in connection with contempt proceedings involving the HYDRAA Commissioner. The court’s response followed the officials’ failure to attend proceedings despite earlier directions requiring their presence.

The order places responsibility on senior police officials to secure compliance with the court’s instructions. Both Ranganath and the Shamshabad revenue official are expected to appear on November 17.

The court’s directions concern their personal appearance in the proceedings. They should not be interpreted as a final finding of guilt or punishment in the underlying contempt matter.
