# AP HC bars coercive action against YSRC leader Bhumana 2026-08-14T01:53:22+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Deccan Chronicle reports that the Andhra Pradesh High Court has directed police not to take coercive action against YSRC senior leader Bhumana Karunakar Reddy and his family in a trespass case. Justice Y. Lakshmana Rao heard a petition filed by the Tirupati district collector, who alleged that Reddy and his family trespassed into Survey No. 478 of a private approved layout at Thanapalli in Tirupati Rural mandal. The court questioned the collector’s role in a private dispute and objected to describing Reddy and his supporters as goondas. It noted that the owner of the layout had not lodged a complaint. The investigating officer has been allowed to continue the probe. ## Coverage - deccanchronicle.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh High Court, Bhumana Karunakar Reddy, coercive action, district collector, trespass case, YSRC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ap-hc-bars-coercive-action-against-ysrc-leader-bhumana/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
