HYDERABAD: Telangana HC on Monday dismissed ex-CM K Chandrasekhar Rao's petition as well as his apprehensions of bias against Justice L Narasimha Reddy commission of inquiry that looked into alleged irregularities in buying power from Chhattisgarh , reported.

A bench answered the principal objection raised by KCR that the issues before the state power regulatory commissions and issues before the commission of inquiry were different.

KCR contended that courts cannot review issues that have already been adjudicated by quasi judicial bodies like Telangana SERC and Chhattisgarh SERC.

The commission is looking into alleged irregularities that took place while buying power from Chhattisgarh during KCR's 10-year govt and in setting up Bhadradri & Yadadri thermal power plants in state. The bench also brushed aside KCR questioning decision of the commission to issue him a notice under Commissions of Inquiry Act.
