Hyderabad: The Hyderabad HC on Tuesday refused to direct GHMC officials to immediately open the Filmnagar Club.
Justice MS Ramachandra Rao was dealing with a petition by the Filmnagar Cultural Centre seeking to declare action of the GHMC officials in seizing the entire club premises of the petitioner on July 24 as illegal.
The petitioner told the court that the officials seized its premises without issuing any notice under the GHMC Act.
The GHMC counsel told the court that officials seized the premises of the club following death of two construction workers due to collapse of an under-construction portico on July 24 to ensure no further construction is ta-ken up on the premises. Mr. C Damodar Reddy, advocate, told the court that it had already granted interim stay on the construction.
