Telangana High Court Denies Immediate Power Restoration to GITAM University Over ₹118 Crore Dues
HYDERABAD, December 23, 2025 – GITAM University’s plea for immediate restoration of power was denied by Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka of the Telangana High Court on Monday. The Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited disconnected the university’s power supply on December 19th due to outstanding dues totaling ₹118 crore.
The university filed an interim application seeking the court’s intervention to restore the power. Their counsel argued that the arrears were not the university’s responsibility but belonged to M/s VBC Ferro Alloys Limited, despite both entities sharing the same ownership.
Justice Bheemapaka did not accept this argument, emphasizing the urgent need for the organization to take responsibility for such a large amount. The Judge, taking note of the lack of action despite the significant amount owed, did not grant the requested interim relief.
The case has been adjourned until December 24th for further hearing. The disruption is impacting the university’s operations, and the outcome of tomorrow’s hearing will be crucial.
