Telangana High Court | Hyderabad, April 17: The Telangana High Court declined to issue interim orders on a petition challenging the appointment of B Shivadhar Reddy as Telangana Director General of Police.
The state government informed the court that the process to appoint a full time DGP is already underway. Therefore, the court chose not to pass any immediate directions at this stage.
The petition was filed by Dhanagopal Rao. He argued that Shivadhar Reddy’s appointment violates earlier guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of India. He requested the court to cancel the appointment and direct the government to appoint a regular DGP immediately.

Meanwhile, the High Court adjourned further hearing of the case to April 27. As a result, attention has now shifted to the next hearing.
The issue has gained significance because the state is currently functioning under a temporary DGP arrangement. Therefore, the upcoming proceedings may become crucial for the final appointment process.
