High Court after hearing to their arguments stayed all further actions by the Government till 9th of September. Earlier Outlook Magazine came with a cartoon in which it portrayed that the when a female IAS officer entered CMO office, all ministers along with Telangana CM KCR used to enjoy her beauty.
Outlook ran a article titled 'No Boring Babu'without mentioning any one's name as a gossip. However the article had many clues whom they were referring to. The cartoon showed the IAS officer walking down the ramp while a caricature of Telengana CM took a picture of her and other politicians leered in the background.
Smitha Sabharwal additional secretary of CM KCR,approached High Court alleging that Outlook published the cartoon insulting her in a derogatory manner. Even Telangana government gave 15 lakhs to Smitha Sabharwal to fight the case.
