Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has directed the state government and the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board (TGLPRB) to submit, within four weeks, the recruitment schedule for 7,400 police posts that the government has already approved.
The directions were issued by a division bench comprising Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice GM Mohiuddin while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by K Akhil Sriguruteja, seeking the filling up of vacancies in the state police department.
During the hearing, the Special Government Pleader informed the court that the recruitment process for 5,000 police posts had already been initiated and that the Telangana State Level Police Recruitment Board had issued a public notification in this regard.
However, counsel for the petitioner argued that during an earlier hearing, the government had informed the court that it intended to fill more than 7,000 vacancies, whereas it was now referring only to 5,000 posts.
