The Andhra Pradesh High Court dismissed former AAG P. Sudhakara Reddy’s writ petition challenging the withdrawal of his security. The Court found no substantiating evidence for Reddy’s claims of threats, citing that assessments by the Security Review Committee indicated no imminent danger. Reddy was advised to follow administrative procedures instead of judicial intervention.
