TS High Court orders OU to restore power, water supply immediately to hostels

Justice K Lakshman of the Telangana High Court on Friday directed the Registrar, Osmania University to immediately restore the power supply and water supply to all the hostels in the Osmania University.

The judge ordered “either power and water be restored in an hour or the Registrar should appear before me.” The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by the Y Divakar and two other law students at the University and a lunch motion filed by other students. The petitioners submitted



that they were surprised to note that mess was closed and electricity, water supply were cut down after they returned to hostel after vacation on 09.10.2022.

When they approached the warden, they were informed same would continue till 25.09.2022 as the holidays were extended. However, considering the case of the petitioner who have opted for hostel, being non-locals and preparing for the upcoming exams, the court has faulted the University administration.
