The Telangana High Court has been addressing various contempt petitions involving allegations of administrative disobedience and failure to implement judicial orders.

In early October, a contempt petition was filed against the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner, RV Karnan. The petitioner alleged that the civic body defied a February 2026 court direction by ordering the closure of all slaughterhouses and meat shops in Hyderabad on October 2. The petitioner argued these closures were not supported by official gazette regulations and infringed upon the rights of traders.

By late October, the court continued to take action against officials for prolonged delays. Justice T Madhavi Devi addressed the failure to regularize employees in educational institutions in the former Warangal region, despite orders dating back to 2019. Additionally, Justice Surepalli Nanda issued a notice to Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju and other senior officials regarding the alleged willful disobedience of a July 2026 order to clear pending bills for fish seed supplies.
