Chiranjeevi's counsel told the court that the actor had received permission in 2002 to construct a G+2 residential building and completed it as per the sanctioned plan.
In 2016, he carried out certain renovations and, as a precaution, submitted an application under the building regularisation scheme in Jan that year. However, there was no response from GHMC.
In 2017, Chiranjeevi was granted permission to construct a retaining wall in front of the building. More recently, in June this year, he again approached the GHMC to inspect and regularise the structure as per the provisions of the GHMC Act.
His application, submitted on June 5, remains pending.
During the hearing, GHMC's standing counsel told the court that the actor's application would be processed in accordance with the law.
Taking note of the delay, the court directed the GHMC commissioner to examine the application, serve notice to Chiranjeevi seeking his explanation, and pass appropriate orders as per legal procedure.

Union Minister Kishan Reddy urges Telangana CM to support renewable energy projects
Hyderabad, July 17 (UNI) Union Minister for Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy has written to Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, urging the state government to extend its cooperation in setting up major renewable energy projects across the state. The Minister stated that Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) under the Ministry of Coal, particularly Coal India Limited (CIL) and Neyveli Lignite Corporation India Limited (NLCIL), are prepared to invest nearly Rs 10,000 crore in Telangana over the next three years for the development of solar and wind power plants, pumped storage projects (PSPs), and battery energy storage systems (BESS). In his letter, Kishan Reddy explained that the Central government was ready to identify zones with high solar potential and develop renewable energy infrastructure in those areas. The CPSUs are also looking to introduce advanced battery storage systems to ensure grid stability, and conduct feasibility studies for implementing pumped storage projects that can provide balancing power to the grid. The Minister proposed the formation of joint ventures between the Telangana State Public Sector Undertakings and Central Government coal companies to speed up project implementation and enhance local economic benefits. However, he noted that these ambitious plans require the support of the state government, especially in the areas of land acquisition and allotment. Highlighting Telangana's potential in renewable energy generation, Kishan Reddy said the Centre is committed to supporting the state's green development goals with sincerity. He stated that these projects would contribute significantly to the economic development of Telangana and position the state as a key player in India's transition to a sustainable energy future. The Union Minister requested Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to take a special initiative and extend full cooperation for the successful execution of these projects. He underlined that a coordinated approach between the state and Central governments is essential to achieving long-term goals related to energy security, environmental protection, and self-reliance.

‘Not because of drill baby, drill': India minister says oil not going away soon, investment is up
While acknowledging the realities of Climate Change, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that oil is not going anywhere from the energy market read more While acknowledging the realities of Climate Change, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that oil is not going anywhere from the energy market. In a fireside chat with F_irstpost's Managing Editor, Palki Sharma_, at UrjaVarta 2025, Puri emphasised the ground realities of oil exploration. When asked what challenges his ministry is facing from environmentalists when it comes to new oil exploration projects, Puri told Firstpost that the world is drilling more oil because of ground realities. He noted that in today's time, no economist would be able to predict when 'Oil will peak,' i.e. a phase when no one would want fossil or crude oil anymore. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'When this business of new oil exploration started, I was a little worried because it is so easy to talk about climate change without knowing the reality,' he said. The Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas emphasised that things have changed since 2021. 'All that has changed, why has it changed? Because of ' drill baby drill'? No. I think it changed because of ground realities. Even if you want to make the transition, and we are very serious, we are the only country which has made its Paris commitment, but when you want to transition, you transition from the present to where you want to transition to. You must have resources for the transition,' he said. 'We are doing well, biofuels 20 per cent, green hydrogen, we are really stepping on it, compressed bio gas, CNGs, etc. We are making the transition, but I don't think there is a date on a tipping point or phase-out point,' he added. Puri on Trump's secondary sanctions While commenting on US President Donald Trump's secondary sanctions threat against India, the Union Minister emphasised that India diversified its sources of buying oil and is not facing pressure over Trump's new threat. On Tuesday, Trump announced a whopping 100 per cent tariffs on Russian exports, including oil, expressing his displeasure with Russian President Vladimir Putin's reluctance to negotiate a peace deal. Apart from this, Trump also introduced equivalent secondary tariffs on countries importing Russian shipments, with India being one of them. Trump warned that the tariffs would be imposed after a 50-day deadline for Moscow to end the war against Ukraine. When asked about the secondary tariff warning, Puri said at the Thursday event that right now he does not have 'any pressure' in his mind. He acknowledged that India's import of Russian oil has increased significantly following the war in Ukraine. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD However, he maintained that during this period, India has diversified its sources of supply. 'Over the last 11 years, we diversified our options, built resiliency and navigated challenges. Each challenge posed by turbulence provided us with opportunities,' Puri told Firstpost. 'We have gone from 27 countries that we used to buy from to about 4 countries.' While talking about buying oil from 'source 1 or 2,' Puri made it clear that India 'will buy from wherever it has to'. 'The Prime Minister's commitment is his final analysis to the Indian consumer,' he said.
