Hyderabad,June 3: Justice Ramesh Ranganathan of the AP High Court gave his verdict on a petition filed by Mr Rajiv Trivedi, an IPS officer, challenging the demolition of an extra bedroom for installation of a lift at Block No 4 in Government Officers’ Flats on Road No. 10 of Banjara Hills.
The judge observed that the “no-holds barred squabble in full public gaze by officers... and occupation of the government quarters without payment of arrears of rent... does not augur well for the bureaucracy”.
