Legal Correspondent: The High Court division bench comprising Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice A. Venkateshwara Reddy, on Friday allowed the interim application impleading Neetu Kumari Prasad, IAS, as party in the plea issuing notice to all respondents, including the IAS officer, and adjourned the hearing to February 23 for filing counters.
