Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court criticized the Telangana State Pollution Control Board (TSPCB) for its poor functioning during a hearing on Wednesday.
Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti expressed dissatisfaction, stating that the board’s practices were concerning.
The court addressed discrepancies in the case of a petitioner who had responded to a show cause notice issued by TSPCB’s Joint Chief Environmental Engineer, D. Krupanand.
Despite the petitioner submitting a detailed reply, the officer claimed otherwise, leading to doubts about the board’s transparency and fairness.
Chief Justice Aradhe highlighted the need for accountability within the board and expressed concern over its lack of consistency in handling cases.
