Act on Chiranjeevi's regularisation plea for his residence, HC directs civic body
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court has directed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to take action on a regularisation plea filed by Tollywood actor and former Union minister K Chiranjeevi regarding structural changes made to his residence on Road No.
25 in Jubilee Hills.
Justice B Vijaysen Reddy recently passed the order while disposing of a petition filed by Chiranjeevi, who had approached the court after the GHMC failed to act on his request. The actor sought regularisation of additions made to his home, located on a 3,333 square yard plot.

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.
