Next hearing of plea against contempt of court order on April 12
Siddipet District Collector P. Venkatrami Reddy tasted the anger of Telangana High Court on Tuesday when he failed to appear before it in an appeal filed by him against punishment in a contempt of court case.
With a division bench headed by Chief Justice Hima Kohli declining to stay the punishment following his absence in the virtual proceedings, the IAS officer finally appeared before the bench towards the end of the session. The CJ declined to stay the single judge order despite repeated requests from Advocate General B.S. Prasad.

40.8-km-long Azhiyur-Vengalam section of NH 66 to be widened Work on six-laning the 40.8-km-long Azhiyur-Vengalam section of National Highway 66 in Kozhikode district will begin when the State government hands over land acquired for the ₹1,838-crore project.
Adani Enterprises Limited (AEL) had won the multi-crore highway project from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on January 12. The project granted under the Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) is part of the Bharatmala Pariyojana of the Centre. The contract for the purpose will be signed within a month.
NHAI project director Nirmal Manohar Zade said the government had mostly acquired the required land for widening the highway. The Centre had deposited the compensation package of ₹663 crore under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act to property owners whose land had been acquired for the project.
