YCitation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 60The Telangana High Court quashed a family court order restraining a wife from going anywhere near her husband including his house and his working, during pendency of divorce proceedings.Terming the restraint order as "unprecedented" the court observed that merely because the wife had filed criminal cases against her husband would not justify such a severe consequence.Courts Least Equipped To Infer 'Psychiatric Disorder' From Marital Incidents Without Expert Medical Evidence: Telangana High CourtCase Title: X v. YCitation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 61Quashing a family court order restraining the wife from going near her husband during pendency of divorce proceedings on the ground of her alleged "psychiatric disorder", the Telangana High Court remarked that the courts are least equipped to arrive at such a finding in absence of any expert medical evidence.It said that thwarting free access of one individual to another, that too married persons, requires a high benchmark of justification.

State of Telangana & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 62The Telangana High Court transferred to the CBCID investigation into the death of a cop who was working at Kukunoorpally Police Station, holding that when serious allegations are made against police officers themselves then investigation conducted by the same agency raises reasonable apprehension of bias warranting transfer.Justice N. Tukaramji observed:“In cases where allegations are made against police officials themselves, investigation by the same agency may give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. Even in the absence of proven mala fides, reasonable likelihood of bias is sufficient to warrant transfer of investigation.”Telangana High Court Protects Actress Ashu Reddy From 'Irreversible Digital Harm', Bars Publication Of 'Defamatory' ContentCase Title: Ms. Venkata Aswini Reddy Koyya @ Ashu Reddy v.
