The\u00a0Andhra Pradesh\u00a0High\u00a0Court\u00a0Sunday dismissed a petition by state police chief V.\u00a0Dinesh\u00a0Reddy seeking orders to the state government to extend his term by one year.<\/p>\n
A division bench, which heard the motion moved by the\u00a0director general of police\u00a0(DGP), directed him to relinquish his post. Reddy is attaining the age of superannuation on Monday.<\/p>\n
Dinesh Reddy had challenged the decision of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) that declined to grant him interim relief to continue in the post till his plea seeking a term of one more year was disposed of by the Tribunal.<\/p>\n
The CAT, however, admitted the original petition and granted four weeks to the government to file a counter affidavit.<\/p>\n
The government had last week conveyed to the CAT that it will not extend Dinesh Reddy’s term. Challenging the government’s decision, he had filed a petition in the CAT but it refused to grant him interim relief.<\/p>\n
Dinesh Reddy, a 1977 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, was re-appointed DGP in September last year after the high court had quashed his appointment following a petition filed by fellow IPS officer P. Gautam Kumar.<\/p>\n
It was in June 2011 that Dinesh Reddy was first appointed DGP, superseding five other IPS officers.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court recently directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the assets of Dinesh Reddy following a petition filed by another IPS officer Umesh Kumar.<\/p>\n
