Telangana HC raps police for settling civil disputes against court orders
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court on Tuesday pulled up the police for "settling" civil disputes despite court injunctions. It orally directed the DGP to ensure the SOPs on duties of cops are displayed at police stations and uploaded on the website for people's benefit.

The court, which prima facie concluded that the plot owner was detained in Nagole police station to settle the matter, directed cops to produce CCTV footage of the day.
