Telangana High Court Seeks Timeline from State on Enacting Lift Safety Law

The Telangana High Court directed the State government to clarify the timeline for enacting a law regulating lift and elevator safety amid reports of repeated fatal accidents.

Hearing a public interest litigation, the Court asked the State to file a detailed report within four weeks on the status of the proposed Telangana Lifts Act, 2025. The State informed the Court that a draft bill was under consideration and sought six months.

The Court also asked authorities to examine whether interim safety guidelines could be implemented through executive instructions until the legislation comes into force. 

The matter has been posted for further hearing.
