Telangana High Court Declares Ghose Commission Report Inoperative, No Action Against KCR and Others

The Telangana High Court on April 22, 2026, ruled that the findings of the Justice P.C. Ghose Commission on alleged irregularities in the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme are inoperative. The court quashed the commission's report against former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, former minister T. Harish Rao, and others, citing violations of natural justice. However, it upheld the commission's constitution as legal and not arbitrary. Consequently, no action can be taken against the petitioners based on the report.
