Hyderabad: Hyderabad High Court instructed the Govt. of Telangana to explain under which rule, the office of Wakf Board was sealed and all the files and records were seized?
A division bench consisting of Acting Chief Justice of Hyderabad High Court, Mr. Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili directed the Govt. of TS to file an affidavit. The division bench was hearing the PIL petition in which the powers of the government were challenged.

When the High Court wanted to know the reaction of the Government, the Govt. pleader, Mr. B.V. Prasad informed that this action was taken after receiving complaints of irregularities. The next hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
