Hyderabad, Dec 8 (PTI) The Andhra Pradesh High Court today set aside
the detention of Telangana Rastha Samithi (TRS) leader Cheraku
Sudhakar. A Division Bench comprising Justices A Gopal Reddy and R
Kanta Rao allowed a writ petition challenging the detention of the
50-year-old TRS politburo member under a stringent Act. The Bench
observed that the cases pending against Sudhakar are petty in nature
and they do not call for his arrest under the National Security Act
(NSA). Sudhakar, a medical practitioner, was detained last month on
orders from the Collector on the ground that he was causing serious
law and order problems and spoiling the peace in Nalgonda district.
The State Government on Tuesday last confirmed his detention for one
year under the NSA. The Nalgonda Collector had taken the action
because of Sudhakar's "repeated involvement in acts affecting peace
and tranquility and acts prejudicial to maintenance of services
essential to the community in contravention to the provisions of the
said Act". The move had sparked protests in Telangana. PTI COR RAO RSY
