Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Monday, September 30, pulled up HYDRA commissioner AV Ranganathan and the Ameenpur tahsildar over the body’s decision to raze down alleged illegal structures in Ameenpur on short notice.
The Telangana High Court criticized the HYDRA chief and the Ameenpur mandal tahsildar for demolishing structures on a Sunday, despite a court order against it.
The High Court also questioned the officials over the extent of the lake, FTLs and the consequences of demolition. The HYDRA chief was questioned if he would lend equipment to raze Charminar or the High Court if he was ordered to do so.
When the state representatives failed to answer, the court further slammed them for carrying out ‘ad hoc’ work and warned them of action if they failed to abide by the law.
