Overview
- A PIL by Keethineedi Akhil Sri Guru Teja of Help The People Trust seeks directions to fill sanctioned posts in the Telangana Police and to establish a structured recruitment roadmap.
- Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G. M. Mohiuddin directed a special registry search because routine database queries may not reveal any prior suo motu case.
- The registry was told to place its findings before the bench and to trace and produce the Supreme Court judgment in WP (Civil) 183 of 2013.
- Citing RTI responses, the petitioner reported 14,874 vacancies out of 91,169 sanctioned posts, including large shortfalls in constable and sub-inspector ranks.
- The petitioner said a recruitment calendar had slated new notifications for April 2025 that never issued, with the last notification in 2022 and 2024 appointment letters tied to earlier rounds.
