Telangana High Court Addresses Revanth's Plea, Hospital Delay
The Telangana High Court is deciding whether to dismiss a case against the Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, related to accusations of discrimination.
The court also wants to know why a new, fully-built hospital in Alampur hasn't opened yet, even though it's been ready for 18 months.
A social activist filed a complaint because people in Alampur have to travel far for medical care because there are no other hospitals nearby.
The government has been asked to explain why the hospital isn't open and respond in two weeks.
Telangana High Court reserved orders on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's plea to quash an SC/ST Atrocities Act case from 2016.
The case against Reddy involves alleged caste-based abuse against N. Peddi Raju.
The state government stated the investigating officer examined witnesses, none of whom placed Reddy at the scene.
Telangana High Court questioned the delay in opening the fully constructed 100-bed Alampur Government Hospital.
A PIL filed by a social activist cited the 18-month delay in operationalizing the Alampur Hospital.
