Telangana HC Rejects Ex-CM Chandrashekhar Rao's Plea Alleging Bias On Retd Judge Commission Inquiring Into Power Procurement

The Telangana High Court dismissed Chief Minister Chandrashekar Rao's plea challenging the validity of a one-man inquiry commission. The commission was set up to investigate alleged irregularities in government land allotments. The court held that the commission's constitution and proceedings were valid under the law. Chief Minister Rao had argued that a one-man commission lacked diverse viewpoints and could lead to biased findings. The court disagreed, emphasizing that the legality of such commissions is upheld by statutory provisions. This decision underscores the court's support for inquiry commissions as instruments of transparency and accountability in governance.
