Nagam Janardhan Reddy vs. State of Telangana & Others (SPECIAL LEAVE PETITION-CIVIL) – Supreme Court of India Judgment
The central issue before the Supreme Court was whether the High Court was justified in dismissing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that alleged fraud and corruption in the revision of cost estimates for the Palamuru Ranga Reddy Lift Irrigation Scheme (PRRLIS). The petitioner sought a declaration that the revision of estimates was illegal and prayed for a CBI investigation. The Court had to decide if there was any reason to interfere with the High Court's discretionary decision to not entertain the PIL.
