Former chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao told the Telangana High Court on Friday that the PC Ghose Commission of Inquiry report on the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Project, “castigated, vilified and sought to have his career destroyed” without following any procedural safeguards. The report also has had a “devastating and chilling effect” on his reputation, submitted senior counsel Dama Seshadri Naidu, appearing for Rao. A Division Bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G M Mohiuddin was hearing the arguments in a batch of writ petitions by KCR, former minister T Harish Rao, former chief secretary S K Joshi, and former secretary to the chief minister Smita Sabharwal seeking to quash the inquiry report.
