Telangana HC extends protection for lawyer-couple

HYDERABAD: Telangana high court on Monday extended the protection accorded to a

lawyer-couple

who were allegedly harassed by police with several FIRs and with calls to join investigators at remote police stations in the state.

A bench of Chief Justice

Hima Kohli

and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy extended the stay order issued earlier till April this year. The

couple

— PV Nagamani and Gattu Vaman Rao — told the bench that their ordeals started ever since they filed a PIL seeking probe into the alleged lock-up death of Seelam Rangaiah in

last year.

Advocate general BS Prasad assured the court that he would ensure that a physical copy of the counter is served to the petitioner. The case was posted to April.
