The High Court Division Bench in Hyderabad heard 4 PILs and a Writ Petition regarding the Kaleshwaram Irrigation Project. The petitioners want a CBI/SFIO probe, while the State Government is considering a Judicial enquiry. The court adjourned the case to April 8 to get more information.
Dr KA Paul argued for a CBI probe, but the Chief Justice said the State should be heard first. The court also warned against turning the issue into a legal battle. The hearing was postponed for 4 months in March, as the State Government promised action against officials responsible for barrages sinking.
The State Government has asked the National Dam Safety Authority to investigate the breakage of three barrages. A committee visited the sites and recommended repairs.
