The Telangana High Court on Thursday directed Sigachi Industries Ltd to explain the discrepancies in the compensation disbursed to the kin of the 54 people killed in the June 2025 explosion at their factory unit in the Pashamylaram area of Sangareddy district.
The discrepancies were pointed out by the court-appointed amicus curiae Dominic Fernandes, who analysed various documents filed by the company and the state.
The bench then directed the Telangana State Legal Services Authority (TSLSA) and the District Legal Services Authority, Sangareddy, to see if the kin of the deceased need legal services and submit a report by the next date of hearing.
The court also directed to implead the regional commissioner, Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, Hyderabad; regional director, Employees’ State Insurance, Hyderabad; and controller of drugs, Government of Telangana, as party respondents to the PIL.
The newly impleaded respondents were directed to file their counter-affidavits before the next date of hearing scheduled on March 12.
