Principal Secretary Gautam challenges Aravinda Rao's appointment as DGP. The Central Administrative Tribunal on Thursday, issued notices to the state government and Director General of Police K Aravinda Rao in connection with a petition filed by Principal Secretary P Gautam challenging Aravinda Rao's appointment as DGP. The notices to the respondents were issued after the Tribunal heard Gautam Kumar's advocate.

Gautam Kumar had, on Wednesday, approached the CAT, challenging Aravinda Rao's appointment as the DGP. He had sought the setting aside of Aravinda Rao's appointment since 'it was in violation of IPS cadre rules'. Gautam Kumar, in his petition, termed Aravinda Rao's promotion as illegal, and said that hence, his appointment as DGP is equally illegal. The CAT, taking cognizance of Gautam Kumar's petition, directed the respondents to reply to the notice within 3 weeks. The case was adjourned for further hearing till October 1.
