Telangana High Court Postpones Crucial Hearing on Ghose Commission Report Involving KCR and Harish Rao

The legal saga surrounding the alleged phone tapping scandal in Telangana took another turn today as the High Court adjourned the hearing of pleas filed by former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) and former minister T. Harish Rao. The much-anticipated proceedings, centered on the contentious Ghose Commission report, have been pushed to Friday.

Both prominent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leaders have approached the High Court, challenging the very formation of the Justice L.

Narsimha Reddy Commission (also known as the Ghose Commission). This commission was constituted by the current Congress government to investigate the alleged phone tapping activities that reportedly occurred during the tenure of the previous BRS administration.

The pleas filed by KCR and Harish Rao also contest the summons issued to them by the commission.

These summons require them to appear and provide their statements regarding the allegations. The BRS leaders argue that the commission's constitution and its subsequent actions are legally flawed and politically motivated.

During the brief session, the High Court decided to defer the matter, indicating that a more detailed hearing would take place later in the week.

The adjournment means that the legal spotlight will remain firmly on this high-profile case, which has significant political ramifications for the state of Telangana.

The Ghose Commission's mandate includes probing the alleged surveillance of political leaders, government officials, and private citizens, which has become a major point of contention between the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS.

The outcome of these legal challenges will undoubtedly shape the future course of the investigation and could have profound implications for the political landscape of Telangana.
