Telangana High Court extends interim protection until Jan 2026 for KCR and Harish Rao in Kaleshwaram project case.

The Telangana High Court has extended interim protection until January 2026 for BRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao and former minister Harish Rao, preventing the state government from taking adverse action against them based on a judicial commission’s report alleging irregularities in the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project. The court is reviewing writ petitions filed by KCR, Harish Rao, and others challenging the report, which was submitted in August and later referred to the CBI. The case remains pending, with the next hearing set for January 2026.
