yderabad: The Telangana HC on Thursday directed the state govt to provide complete details on the recent demolition of the Peddamma temple located at the MLA quarters on Road No.
12, Banjara Hills. While directing the Hyderabad collector and tahsildar to file a detailed affidavit on the issue, the court also ordered that the statue of the Peddamma deity be kept safe. The matter has been posted for further hearing on Aug 18.
The HC took up the matter on a petition filed by Palle Vinod Kumar Reddy of Himayatnagar, who sought orders for the temple's reconstruction within a specified time frame at the expense of the state govt. He also requested a court-monitored judicial inquiry into the removal of the deity's statue and action against officials responsible.
He further urged the court to direct the reinstallation of the deity in the original sanctum sanctorum, with religious rituals, under the supervision of the endowment department and in consultation with local devotees.
