Telangana HC directs state govt to clear pending dues of fish seed suppliers

The Telangana High Court has directed the state government to implement its previous orders to clear pending dues to fish seed suppliers across the state.

The court warned that if the directive is not followed, Finance department principal secretary Sandeep Sultania must appear in person on December 5.

The orders pertain to non-payment of bills for fish seed supplied during the



2023–24 financial year. Alleging non-compliance with the court’s earlier directions to settle their payments, RK Fisheries Traders and Seed Suppliers, along with others, filed a contempt petition against government officials.

Justice K Telangana High Court warns Finance secretary over non-payment to fish seed suppliers Sharath, who heard the matter, considered the state government’s plea for additional time.
