HYDERABAD: Justice K. Laxman of the Telangana High Court ordered notice to the authorities in a writ plea questioning an easement order passed by the tahsildar of Nizamabad village in Rajanna Siricilla district.
The order was for the use of a road with the local Mallanna temple. Writ petitioner Velpula Reddy complained that for over 100 years devotees were using an alternative land.
