Court takes serious note of delay in filling up of 174 APP posts
Taking a serious note of the State government dilly-dallying filling up of 174 Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) posts, Telangana High Court on Wednesday issued notices to Home Secretary Ravi Gupta to explain why contempt of court proceedings should not be initiated against him. A bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy, hearing a PIL plea on filling-up posts of public prosecutors in criminal courts of the State, directed the Home Secretary to reply to the show cause notice by July 7. Earlier, the bench instructed the government to recruit 174 APP posts in different criminal courts of the State to ensure the criminal justice system does not suffer. Government Pleader for Home Srikanth Reddy sought more time to comply with the bench’s previous direction to fill up the posts when the matter came up for hearing on Wednesday.
