He asked police sub inspector, Anjaneya Reddy, to register cases and file first information reports against the parents who got the work done through their children, panchayat president and PDO for not repairing the road, and against school teachers who did not take due care of the children.

When the sub inspector suggested that the road can be got repaired instead of registering cases, the judge agreed. He directed to repair the road immediately and submit a report and photo to him. It is learnt that panchayat development officer Anusha, visited the spot along with panchayat staff and undertook steps to conduct temporary repairs for the road for now.
