HC dismisses former Minister’s plea for security cover

The Telangana High Court on Friday dismissed a writ petition filed by former Minister Jalagam Prasad Rao seeking a direction to re-introduce the security coverage, which was recently withdrawn to him by the State government.  

Justice T. Madhavi Devi of the HC said withdrawal of the security was an administrative action taken by the government after considering all the aspects of the requirement of security coverage to the petitioner. The court was not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the government in the matter, the order said.
