Union of India & Anr. 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 89Judgments/ Orders 'Accused Not Named In FIR, Remand Report Or Chargesheet': Telangana HC Probe Into Alleged Illegal Detention By PoliceCase Title: Jogaram Lohar v. State of Telangana & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 83The Telangana High Court has directed the Director General of Police to register a crime/FIR and entrust investigation to a Special Investigation Team (SIT) or CB-CID on a petition alleging illegal detention, coercion and abuse of authority by police officials. A Single Judge Bench of Justice N. Tukaramji observed:“This inconsistency raises serious concerns regarding the legality of the petitioner's alleged detention. If the petitioner was not formally shown as an accused, his production before the Magistrate would not arise. The respondents' version, therefore, appears incongruent with the record, warranting closer scrutiny. While allegations relating to coercion, execution of GPA, and seizure of documents involve disputed questions of fact not amenable to adjudication under writ jurisdiction, the inconsistencies in the respondents' stand and the prima facie material necessitate an independent and impartial investigation.”'Money In Bank Account Is Property Of Account Holder': Telangana HC Orders Defreezing Of Account Frozen Over Cyber Fraud ComplaintsCase Title: Kanakati Naresh v. Union of India & OrsCitation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 84The Telangana High Court has held that a citizen's bank account cannot be frozen indefinitely merely on the basis of internal correspondence, portal alerts or informal electronic communications, unless such action is traceable to authority of law. A Single Judge Bench of Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka observed:“A citizen's bank account cannot be frozen indefinitely merely on internal correspondence, portal alerts or informal electronic communications unless such action is traceable to authority of law. Money lying in a bank account is property of the account holder. Restriction upon operation of such account affects right to livelihood, right to property in accordance with law, and access to one's legitimate funds. Even where investigative agencies seek protective measures, the action must satisfy minimum legal safeguards. There must be authority of law, communication of reasons where permissible, and a fair procedure.”KGBV Bunker Beds Tender: Telangana HC Directs School Education Dept To Conduct Enquiry Into Ex-MLA's Complaint On Alleged IrregularitiesCase Title: Peddi Sudershan Reddy v. Union of India & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 85The Telangana High Court directed the School Education Department to conduct a detailed enquiry into a complaint alleging irregularities and loss to the State exchequer in relation to a tender for supply, commissioning and installation of bunker beds with mattresses and pillows in Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalayas (KGBVs). A Single Judge Bench of Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka observed:“At this stage, it is also necessary to emphasize that writ jurisdiction of this Court cannot be invoked to supervise or micro-manage the manner in which an administrative enquiry is to be conducted once the competent authority has already initiated the process. The Court is also conscious of the fact that Petitioner has raised several allegations regarding irregularities in the tender process, alleged price escalation and alleged loss to the public exchequer. However, those issues are not directly the subject matter of challenge in the present Writ Petition.”Membership Of Bar Associations Voluntary, Can't Restrict Lawyer From Practicing: Telangana High Court Reads Down BCI RuleCase Title: Vijay Gopal v. Bar Council of India & Anr.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Tel) 86The Telangana High Court read down Rule 6 of the Bar Council of India Certificate and Place of Practice (Verification) Rules, 2015 and held that membership in a Bar Association cannot be made compulsory for advocates and non-membership shall not disentitle or restrict an advocate from practising law. A Single Judge Bench of Justice N. Tukaramji observed:“Rule 6 cannot be interpreted or enforced in a manner that renders membership in a Bar Association compulsory or delegates regulatory control over the right to practice to non-statutory bodies. To that extent, any coercive or mandatory interpretation would be ultra vires the Advocates Act, 1961 and violative of Articles 19(1)(c) and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India. Further, as a regulatory...
