High Court seeks Finance Secretary’s appearance
The Hindu
Issue relates to failure to extend financial help to former NSG commando
Telangana High Court on Thursday directed the State Principal Finance Secretary to appear before it on June 3 if the government fails to accord sanction of finance assistance assured to an injured National Security Guard commando K. Sriramulu. The High Court, which had taken up a news report on the plight of the commando as PIL petition, took a serious note of government failing to fulfil the promise made to the commando. A division bench of Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy deplored the inaction of the State government over the assurance given to the commando who served the nation. The fate of the former solider was hanging in balance from October 2018 to April 2021 due to the inaction of the government, the bench observed. The former NSG commando was an expert in defusing bombs and suffered serious injuries during the terror attack on Pathankot Air Force base in Punjab.
