Hyderabad:Justice Juvvadi Sridevi of the Telangana High Court directed authorities to allow two diploma students to appear for the June 2026 supplementary examinations. The students questioned the decision of the education authorities and the board to prevent them from appearing for the supplementary examinations scheduled from June 18. The petitioners contended that they were allowed to attend classes, internal examinations and practical examinations, and that medical grounds raised by some students were not properly considered. They argued that the mechanical application of attendance requirements without considering technological issues and other circumstances was arbitrary.
Muslim husband’s divorce plea stalled
Justice N. Tukaramji of the Telangana High Court stayed further proceedings in a divorce case instituted by a Muslim husband before the Principal Family Court while observing that the issue of whether or not such a petition was maintainable under the Family Courts Act and Muslim Personal (Shariat) Law required detailed examination. The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by a woman challenging the maintainability of divorce proceedings initiated by her husband before the Family Court. The petitioner sought a declaration that the proceedings were contrary to the provisions of the Family Courts Act, 1984 and the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937. Counsel Mohammad Adnan contended that under Muslim Personal (Shariat) Law, a husband did not ordinarily require recourse to a court for dissolution of marriage and exercised such right independently. It was argued that there was no statutory framework prescribing grounds on which a Muslim husband may seek divorce through a judicial forum and, therefore, the Family Court lacked inherent jurisdiction to entertain such a petition. Counsel for the wife contended that the said pleas were contrary to specific provisions of the Family Courts Act. Justice Tukaramji directed the respondents to file their responses and granted an interim stay of further proceedings before the Principal Family Court pending further consideration of the matter.
Power supply okayed for stone crusher unit
Justice Renuka Yara of the Telangana High Court directed the Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited (TSSPDCL) to forthwith restore electricity supply to a stone crusher unit premises housing quarry workers, while restraining the petitioner from carrying on any quarrying or stone-crushing activities. The judge disposed of a writ petition filed by Hycons Infrastructure (India) Pvt. Ltd seeking restoration of power supply to its stone crusher unit situated at Meerkhanpet, Kandukur mandal, Rangareddy district. The petitioner contended that despite repeated representations, the electricity connection remained disconnected, causing severe hardship to quarry workers residing on the premises. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that quarry operations were stopped and that the workers living in the camp area were facing difficult conditions due to the disconnection of power supply. Opposing the plea, counsel appearing for the power utility argued that under the terms of the licence, the petitioner was required to vacate the property upon expiry of the licence period. It was further contended that the competent authorities took a decision to develop the area as part of the proposed Pharma City project. Taking note of the fact that quarry operations were ceased and that the power disconnection was adversely affecting workers residing in the area, Justice Renuka Yara directed TSSPDCL to restore power supply forthwith, while directing the petitioner not to undertake any quarrying or stone-crushing operations.
