Overview

• The bench directed Shailendra Kumar Joshi to file an affidavit detailing how he obtained the P.C. Ghose Commission report and asked the government to state whether and where it was uploaded.
• Proceedings were adjourned to September 10 as the court examines access to the report and the petitioner’s status as an affected party.
• Joshi contends the commission treated him unfairly under the Commissions of Inquiry Act, saying he received no notices under Sections 8B/8C and was denied a chance to cross-examine.
• The court questioned how the document was downloaded after ordering the summary removed from public view, while the government said it was never officially uploaded.
• The state had tabled parts of the report, including a 60-page summary, in the Assembly and referred the matter to the CBI, and interim protection for K. Chandrashekar Rao and T. Harish Rao remains in place.
