Dinesh posting challenged

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, July 7 :

The controversy surrounding the appointment of the DGP refused to die down as another petition came up before the Central Administrative Tribunal on Thursday challenging the appointment of Mr V. Dinesh Reddy as the head of Police Force (HOPF).

The petition was filed in the Central Administrative Tribunal by the principal secretary to the home department, Mr P. Gautam Kumar.

It may be noted that the CAT had earlier quashed the appointment of Mr K. Aravinda Rao as DGP terming it as illegal on a petition also filed by Mr Gautam Kumar.

The CAT had directed the state government to send a panel of six senior officers to the Union Public Service Commission to enable it to prepare a panel for the selection of the new DGP.
