Savithramma from SPS Nellore district wasn't paid compensation for land taken over by revenue authorities in 2015. What followed was a 6-year-long legal battle to get her due.

New Delhi: On Thursday, four serving IAS officers and a retired one were found guilty of contempt of court by the Andhra Pradesh High Court and were sentenced to varying jail terms or fines.

The order came after a six-year-long legal fight and a contempt petition filed by a 62-year-old woman agriculturalist.

The convicted IAS officers are Chief Minister’s Additional Secretary and former Collector of SPS Nellore district Revu Mutyala Raju, former Collector M.V. Seshagiri Babu, SPS Nellore district Collector K.V.N. Chakradhara, Principal Finance Secretary Shamsher Singh Rawat and retired IAS officer Manmohan Singh, the former Principal Secretary (Revenue).
