Telangana High Court Orders GOs Online
The Telangana High Court has ordered the government to put all its official orders (called GOs) online.
A man named Errolla Srinivas asked the court to do this because many GOs were not available to the public.
The court found out that out of 19,064 GOs issued recently, only 3,290 were online.
The finance department did even worse, with only 17 out of 3,720 GOs available.
The court said the government must follow its own rules and put all GOs online.
A politician from the previous government, T. Harish Rao, said this was a 'slap' to the current government, saying they were not being transparent.
But people pointed out that the previous government also didn't put enough GOs online.
Telangana High Court ordered the government to upload all GOs, circulars, rules, and notifications online.
Only 3,290 out of 19,064 GOs issued between December 2023 and January 2025 were available to the public.
The finance department issued 3,720 GOs in the same period, but only 17 were made public.
The court emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in governance.
A former BRS minister criticized the current Congress government, alleging a lack of transparency, but citizens countered with the previous government's record.
