**Telangana High Court Extends Protection for Former CM and Officials in Kaleshwaram Project Inquiry**
**Hyderabad, India – October 7, 2025** – The Telangana High Court has extended interim protection for former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, former Minister T. Harish Rao, former Chief Secretary Shailendra Kumar Joshi, and IAS officer Smita Sabharwal until November 12, 2025. The protection prevents any adverse action against them based on the findings of the Justice (retired) P.C. Ghose Commission report, which investigated alleged irregularities in the execution of the Kaleshwaram irrigation project.
The extension was granted by a bench consisting of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin, after the Advocate General requested additional time to file counter affidavits in the case. The former officials had individually petitioned the High Court seeking to set aside the Commission’s report on various grounds. The hearing has been adjourned until November 12.
