Overview

• Declining interim relief to K. Chandrashekar Rao and T. Harish Rao, the High Court refused to stay tabling the PC Ghose Commission report.
• The Advocate General told the court the state will not initiate action on the report’s findings until it is placed before the Assembly and debated.
• The bench directed the Chief Secretary and the Irrigation and Command Area Development Secretary to file detailed counter affidavits within five weeks.
• KCR and Harish Rao’s petitions seek to quash the inquiry, alleging violations of Sections 8B and 8C of the Commissions of Inquiry Act and denial of a chance to defend or cross‑examine.
• The commission found the two leaders directly and vicariously accountable, while a dispute continues over the public release of a 60‑page summary that the government says is not an official publication.
