Jubilee Hills Club restrained from unauthorised construction
HYDERABAD: Justice B Vijaysen Reddy of the Telangana High Court has issued an interim order restraining the Jubilee Hills Club from carrying out any illegal construction until valid permissions are obtained from the GHMC. The order came on a writ petition filed by Peddi Venu Gopal and another petitioner, seeking enforcement of a January 9 speaking order issued by the GHMC Deputy Commissioner, Circle 18, Jubilee Hills. The order had directed the club to remove unauthorised constructions and deviations within 15 days, warning that failure to comply would invite further action and cost recovery. The petitioners contended that despite the clear directive, GHMC failed to act against the ongoing illegal construction. A complaint highlighting the inaction was submitted on April 7, but no steps were taken to enforce the demolition. Alleging retaliation, the petitioner informed the court that the club management lodged a false complaint against him with Jubilee Hills police on April 9, following which an FIR was registered under BNS. After hearing the submissions, the judge directed the club to halt all construction activity until it obtains approvals from GHMC.

No construction till GHMC nod: Telangana high court to Jubilee Hills Club
1 2 Hyderabad: The Telangana high court on Thursday directed the Jubilee Hills International Centre (popularly known as Jubilee Hills Club) to stop all ongoing construction at their premises till it gets building permission from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation ( GHMC ). Justice B Vijaysen Reddy gave the interim direction while hearing a petition filed by P Venugopal and N Srinivas of Jubilee Hills questioning the inaction of GHMC despite bringing to their notice the unauthorised construction at the club in survey no. 403/1, Road No.14, Jubilee Hills. Senior counsel V Ravi Kiran Rao, appearing for the petitioners, said the club was building a huge banquet hall without permission from GHMC or no-objection certificate (NOC) from fire authorities. "The club management is not responding to the notices of the GHMC officials and authorities are not taking up the issue with the required seriousness," he said. GHMC counsel Midde Arun Kumar informed the court that they had issued a show cause notice which did not yield any response. He said that the deputy commissioner then passed a speaking order directing the club to demolish the unauthorised structure on its own or face the consequences. "Now, the club management has applied for a building permission and officials are examining the record," he said. Ravi Kiran said this was proof of the audacity of the club management which applied for permission only after they were left with no option and, hence, the GHMC should not process their current application. "Otherwise, they will never follow the law," he said. Advocate on record A Raghuram said the governing council of the club was going to the extent of harassing the petitioners with FIRs for playing the role of a whistleblower and alerting authorities about the illegal structure without setbacks, parking space and fire safety measures. The judge adjourned the case to July 10. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
