Swami Paripoornananda files petition in HC over externment

Hindu seer Swami Paripoornananda filed three separate petitions in the Hyderabad High Court on Friday challenging the externment orders issued against him.

He was externed from Hyderabad on July 11 for six months under the Anti-Social and Hazardous Activities Act,1980 for allegedly making provocative statements targeting other communities and their leaders.

The Court on Friday admitted a petition, that claimed the move was 'unconstitutional' as the person who is being expelled must be a 'goonda'. 

The Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda commissioners along with Telangana's Principal Secretary (Home) were named as the respondents in the case. The hearing of the case is likely to come up next week.
