HYDERABAD: Annoyed over the delay of the state government in filling up 174 Additional Public Prosecutors’ (APPs) posts despite the court orders, the Telangana High Court on Wednesday issued show-cause notices to Ravi Gupta, principal secretary of the state home department as to why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy was unhappy with the government apathy in implementing the court directions. The court observed that it seemed as if the government was of opinion that it was doing a favour to the court by implementing its orders.
