Ex-HC judge withdraws from inquiry panel set up to probe KCR in alleged power sector irregularities

Former chief justice of Patna High Court L Narasimha Reddy has withdrawn from the one-man Commission of Inquiry in Telangana investigating ex-chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's alleged irregularities in the power sector during his tenure, following a plea of bias by Rao. The Supreme Court allowed the substitution of Justice Reddy in the inquiry panel and dismissed Rao's petition challenging the constitution of the commission.
