Telangana HC reserves order on modifying order for action against erring police officers at Assembly
The Telangana High Court has reserved its order regarding a request to modify a directive aimed at police officers who blocked BRS legislators from entering the Assembly. The government argues the police were acting under the authority of the Assembly's Chief Marshal, while the petitioners maintain the original order remains necessary.
Why it matters
This case touches on the separation of powers and the limits of police authority in relation to legislative proceedings.
Justice T. Madhavi Devi of the Telangana High Court on Tuesday (September 8, 2026) reserved orders in an interim application seeking modification of the order directing the police chief to take action against the ‘erring police officials’ who prevented Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) legislators from entering the Assembly the previous day.
The judge said the order would be pronounced in a day or two. Appearing for the government, the Advocate General A. Sudershan Reddy presented contentions to modify the order stating that police were not at fault and acted as per the direction of the Chief Marshal of the Assembly. The Advocate General read out provisions of Rule 316 of the Assembly Business stating that in case of necessary situation, the Chief Marshal of the Assembly can take the assistance of the police in ensuring smooth conduct of the Assembly.
