HYDRAA Commissioner Apologizes in Bathukamma Kunta Land Dispute
The Hyderabad Disaster Management and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) Commissioner, A V Ranganath, had to go to the Telangana High Court because someone said he didn't follow the court's rules about a piece of land called Bathukamma Kunta.
The court told him to come on October 31, but he asked to skip it because he had important work.
The court said no and told him to come on November 27.
He went and said he was sorry.
The court accepted his apology and said he doesn't have to come to the next hearing on December 18.
They will talk more about the problem then.
HYDRAA Commissioner A V Ranganath appeared before the Telangana High Court on November 27, 2025.
He tendered an unconditional apology for alleged non-compliance with the interim orders in the Bathukamma Kunta land dispute.
The court had directed him to appear following a contempt petition filed by A Sudhakar Reddy.
The court initially dismissed his exemption plea, citing unavoidable official responsibilities.
The next hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2025, to examine the merits of the contempt allegations.
