The Telangana High Court has warned HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath of a non-bailable warrant if he fails to appear on December 5 in a contempt case. The case involves alleged violations of court orders regarding disputed land near Bathukamma Kunta Lake, where HYDRAA's restoration work allegedly exceeded permitted activities. The court rejected Ranganath's request for attendance exemption, insisting on his personal appearance to address the deliberate disobedience allegations.
