(Representative image)HYDERABAD: Making it clear that police orders cannot override the code of criminal procedure (CrPC), Justice Sanjay Kumar of the Telangana high court on Friday came down heavily on Karimnagar commissioner of police V Kamalasan Reddy, assistant commissioner Tirupathi and station house officer Shashidhar Reddy for repeatedly raiding a resort despite the court issuing a restraint order.
The judge was hearing a contempt case filed by owners of Pushpanjali Country Resort at Teegalatjattapalli near Karimnagar, who charged the cops with too much interference in running the resort. Justice Sanjay, in his November 2015 order, had instructed Karimnagar police not to interfere with the card game of rummy whatever be the stakes. Police had been conducting raids to prevent people from playing cards there.
