HYDERABAD: In a relief to Swamy Paripoornananda, the Hyderabad High Court on Tuesday suspended the externment orders issued against Swamy on July 10, 14 and 15 by the Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda commissionerates, respectively, imposing ban on him from entering the city for a period of six months under Telangana Prevention of Anti-social and hazardous activities Act, 1980.
Justice A Rajasheker Reddy was passing this interim order in three petitions filed separately by Swamy Paripoornananda challenging the said externment orders. However, the police commissioners have passed orders against Swamy without placing any material to show that he can be categorised as a goonda. In fact, the police have mentioned in the impugned orders about the incidents that took place in the past in other districts of the state.
The authorities have no power to take action against the petitioner for the incidents of other districts, he argued. Taking these submissions into consideration, the judge granted interim suspension of the externment orders.
