Kasim Peera v. State of Telangana & Ors.Case Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 36The Telangana High Court has held that posts of Police Constable, Head Constable and Assistant Reserve Sub-Inspector in the Special Police Battalions are State cadre posts governed under Andhra Pradesh Public Employment (Organisation of Local Cadres and Regulation of Direct Recruitment) Order 1975.It further held that promotions to such non-ministerial posts cannot be governed by battalion-wise (local) seniority under the Andhra Pradesh Police (Special Police Battalions) Subordinate Service Rules1997.Delay In Grant Of Sanction Within 4 Months By Itself Not Enough To Quash Prosecution In Corruption Case: Telangana High CourtCase Title: Sri Azmeera Kailas v. State of Telangana & Anr.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 37The Telangana High Court refused to quash disproportionate assets case against a public servant, holding that mere delay in grant of sanction by itself is not enough to abort a corruption case.This, when the Anti-Corruption Bureau had consistently pursued sanction and the accused had not invoked available remedies at the relevant time.Referring to Supreme Court's decision in Vijay Rajmohan v CBI (2023) where it was held that that the sanctioning authority is required to grant sanction within 3 months along with an additional period of 1 month and upon expiry the complainant, accused or victim is entitled to approach the appropriate Writ Court to seek appropriate remedies, Justice Juvvadi Sridevi observed:"In the instant case, the petitioner failed to challenge the legality of the delay, neither before the trial Court nor before the High Court to seek necessary directions. This inaction constitutes a neglect of the remedy explicitly made available under law and a failure to utilize the statutory and judicial safeguards designed to address such delays. While the judgment in Vijay Rajmohan's case was expressly relied upon by the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner, no attempt was made to invoke the remedies available, thereby undermining the petitioner's reliance on the delay in granting sanction. Hence, in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the aforesaid judgment, mere non-compliance with the mandatory requirement of granting sanction within four (4) months cannot, by itself, constitute a ground to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. The delay, in the absence of any other substantive illegality, does not entitle the petitioner to the relief claimed.”College Can't Withhold Student's Original Certificates To Recover Fees, Must Proceed As Per Law To Recover Dues: Telangana High CourtCase Title: CH.
