Kathi Mahesh Externment Case: High Court Begins Hearing

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad High Court on Thursday began hearing on popular Telugu film critic Kathi Mahesh's externment case. Last month, Kathi Mahesh was booked by the City police for allegedly making statements "disrespecting" Hindu deities and was externed from Hyderabad for six months.

Countering the police's externment action against him, the critic had filed a petition in the High Court. Hearing the petition on Thursday, the Court ordered the Telangana government to file a counter petition in this regard. The lawyer who represented the government requested 10 days time to file a counter. The Court accepted the request and adjourned the case until August 27.
