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 .
