Telangana HC Extends Protection to KCR and Others in Kaleshwaram Project Case

The Telangana High Court extended protection until March 2 for former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao, former Minister T. Harish Rao, and others against adverse actions based on the PC Ghose Commission report on the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project. Petitioners argue the commission did not allow them to respond or cross-examine witnesses, challenging procedural fairness. The report alleges significant irregularities and financial losses exceeding ₹7,500 crore, which the state attributes to administrative negligence.
