Builder Takes Legal Action Against Demolition Order
Hyderabad: A builder approached the Telangana High Court on Tuesday, challenging the showcause notice issued by the Ameenpur municipality of Patancheru mandal for the demolition of his under-construction structure as it was situated in the full tank level (FTL) of Ameenpur lake.
The petitioner said that HMDA had accorded permission to the construction of the building in Plot No.s 78 and 79 of Survey No.s 182-188 of Ameenpur town in July 2023, but had revoked the permission on the stand that the site was situated in the FTL of the lake.
The builder submitted to the court that the FTL of the lake had not been earmarked but the authorities revoked the permission and issued showcause notices for demolition. The petitioner submitted only after securing permission from the HMDA had they commenced construction. The High Court will hear the case on Thursday.
