Hyderabad: Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy of the Telangana High Court enlarged on bail four persons accused of illegal transportation, buying and selling of dry ganja. It was alleged that credible information was received by the Laxmidevipally sub-inspector and a suo motu complaint was registered on February 22. The complainant along with his staff conducted vehicle checking at Yellandu crossroads, during which he found an autorickshaw without a number plate coming from Palvoncha via Yellandu. Police stopped the vehicle and on checking found 25 brown colour packets of ganja, weighing 53.9 kg, concealed in the vehicle. The contraband was seized in the presence of two official panchas and confession panchanama was recorded. It was alleged that the primary accused and the other four accused confessed that they have collected ganja at the Chinthoor forest area. The petitioners stated that are eking out livelihood by working as an electrician, fast food worker, agriculture labour and worker and sought to be released on bail. The judge enlarged the petitioners on bail with conditions that they shall not interfere with the investigation and shall not indulge in similar offences.
CBSE asked to clarify on fate of attendance-hit student
Justice J. Anil Kumar of the Telangana High Court required the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to report about a 10 standard student who appeared in the examination on the basis of directions of the court. The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by K. Vishwadeep questioning the action of the CBSE in not permitting him to take the examination due to shortage of attendance. As against the prescribed 65 per cent, the petitioner had put in only 59 per cent. He had submitted medical certificates in support of his claim that he had sustained a fracture and had typhoid. The High Court earlier had permitted him to take the examination. In the present petition, the petitioner sought the announcement of his results. He pointed out that in an earlier case, a student had similarly fallen short of attendance but his results were announced. Unwilling to pass an order without hearing the board’s version, Justice Anil Kumar posted the matter to next Thursday. Ajay Kulkarni, counsel for Krishnaveni, pointed out that the school had forwarded the application of petition for waiver of attendance and that it was for the board to respond.
