The Division Bench in Hyderabad, consisting of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Jukanti Anil Kumar, heard a group of PILs and writ petitions regarding the Kaleshwaram Irrigation Project. These petitions asked for a CBI investigation into alleged illegal activities by the previous BRS government during construction.
The CBI’s representative informed the court that they had submitted their response to the petitions. One of the petitioners, Bakka Judson, announced their intention to withdraw their petition due to an ongoing judicial probe into the matter.
However, Chief Justice Aradhe denied Judson’s request to withdraw the petition, stating that once a PIL is filed with the High Court, it is within the court’s jurisdiction to handle the issue. The court is focusing on investigating the alleged irregularities surrounding the Kaleshwaram Irrigation Project.
The hearing was adjourned for two weeks to allow for further proceedings in this case.
