Hyderabad,Aug. 3: Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao of the AP High Court reprimanded the officials of the home department for not taking stringent action for indecent behaviour.
The judge was dealing with a contempt case filed by Ms Velpula Padma Kumari, the president of Mandal Mahila Samkhya of Penuganchiprolu in Krishna district, questioning the inaction of the department in initiating disciplinary proceedings against the then Ananthapur district SI, Mr M.K. Singh.
The court had summoned the DGP, Mr S.S.P. Yadav, and principal secretary of home department, Mr Ajaoyandra Pyal.
The petitioner, had earlier filed a writ petition alleging that Mr Singh had asked the homeguards, including women, to help with the construction of his house, when he was the SP of Krishna district
The judge said, “Women have raised their voice against an official about his harassment and behaviour towards women homeguards. If the officials do not react swiftly, what would they think about the department?”
