  "summary": "The Telangana High Court has imposed a cost of ₹25,000 on the School Education department for delaying the filing of an appeal by 250 days. The bench, comprised of Acting Chief Justice P. Sam Koshy and Justice Narsing Rao Nandikonda, allowed the appeal despite the delay, expressing reluctance to do so. The court ordered the Principal Secretary for Education to identify the responsible official and recover the costs from them if necessary. The case involves a petition filed by K. Girish in 2016 seeking a direction to absorb him as a grant-in-aid teacher. The proposal was sent in 2003, and the department declined it two years later. The single judge's order instructing the Hyderabad District School Education Officer to issue proceedings was stayed by the bench, as the petitioner had passed away before the final order was passed.",
