Telangana High Court Sentences Ranga Reddy Collector To Six Months Imprisonment

The Telangana High Court has sentenced Ranga Reddy district Collector C. Narayana Reddy to six months of imprisonment in a contempt of court case. Justice K. Lakshman held the IAS officer guilty of wilful disobedience and also imposed a fine of ₹2,000. The contempt case was filed by a couple stating that the Collector disobeyed a court order from 2025 regarding a No Objection Certificate for their open plots. The court had instructed the Collector to consider their representation within 60 days, but no order was passed in the stipulated time. The judge suspended the sentence for four weeks to allow the officer to file an appeal against the ruling. The matter highlights accountability in judicial compliance and administrative duties.
