Justice Anil Kumar says HYDRAA Commissioner became ‘a law unto himself’, directs to file apology in contempt case
The Telangana High Court on Friday (July 24, 2026) came down heavily on the actions of Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) Commissioner and IPS officer A.V. Ranganath, which compelled a private company to file three contempt of court petitions against him, and directed him to file an affidavit with apology and explanation of his interference in a matter relating to 40 acres of land in Lothkunta village, Ranga Reddy district. “It had become a regular phenomenon for them to flout orders of the court,” the judge said.
