Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Monday granted a week to the TS government and the Civil Liberties Committee to examine the legal position and clarify the court whether a second FIR is required to be registered in the alleged encounter killings of Shruti and Vidyasagar that took place at Mulug reserve forest area in Tadwai mandal of Warangal district on September 15, 2015.
The court was dealing with a PIL by the Civil Liberties Committee seeking directions to the TS government to entrust the probe to the CBI with regard to the Tadwai encounter.
V. Raghunath, counsel for the petitioner, contended that there was a need to register a second FIR when there was a rival contention on the issue.
Mr Raghunath alleged that the alleged Maoists were killed in a fake encounter and the police failed to register a case under IPC 302 based on a complaint given by the mother of the deceased Shruti.
TS AAG J. Ramachandra Rao, argued that there was no need to register a second FIR on the same incident and it was’nt permissible under law.
The Hyderabad High Court on Monday granted two weeks to the TS government to spell its stand on a petition seeking to apportion a percentage of fees collected by the HMDA towards layouts/building approvals to gram panchayats and nagar panchayats.
The HC was told that though the HMDA collects crores of rupees to give approvals, it’s the local bodies which provide all basic amenities in those layouts.
