The Telangana High Court on Wednesday, August 12, initiated suo motu contempt proceedings against Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) Commissioner AV Ranganath over the demolition of structures at Vani Cooperative Housing Society in Malkajgiri, despite status quo orders that were still in force.The court ordered its registry to personally deliver Wednesday’s order to the Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department. The matter has been adjourned to August 27. The contempt notice adds to a mounting list of cases against Ranganath, who, according to recent reports, is facing 63 contempt of court petitions, with the High Court in a separate matter last week asking the state Chief Secretary to remove him from the post over repeated violations of court orders.
