Hyderabad: A petition has been filed before the Telangana High Court urging it to direct the Hyderabad police to register an FIR against Mr P. Harish, an IFS officer who is working in Vietnam as the Indian ambassador, for allegedly consistently violating the Flag Code by displaying the Tricolour in an inverted position.
Mr P. Vijender Murthy, practicing advocate from the city, approached the court with a grievance against the Nallakunta police that his complaint had not been registered even though it was two weeks since he filed it against the ambassador.
The petitioner submitted that the state police was negligent in taking action in complaint against Mr Harish for violating the Flag Code 2002.
In the petition, he contended that he was surprised to see the Indian Flag placed upside down in some of the photographs that featured Mr Harish with high dignitaries of Vietnam.
According to him, this is not a single instance of oversight. It has been found in several photos connected to the embassy, he said.
A day after the plea was filed in the High Court, a first information report was registered by Nallakunta police in this matter.
