Hyderabad: The High Court on Saturday refused to direct the GHMC to remove the seal and permit full-fledged activities at the Film Nagar Cultural Centre at Jubilee Hills here.
Justice M.S. Ramachandra Rao was dealing with a petition by the FNCC seeking to declare the action of the GHMC in seizing the entire club on July 24, 2016, as illegal.
The GHMC counsel told the court that the corporation had seized the premises following the death of two construction workers due to the collapse of an under-construction portico inside the centre on July 24 in order to ensure that no further construction would be taken up.
He told the court that status quo had been granted on construction in the club premises and an expert team from the city-based Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University had pointed out certain defects in the building.
While permitting the club management to rectify the defects without opening the building for public, the judge sought a compliance report.

The AP CID on Saturday told the High Court that banks were auctioning properties of Agri Gold even as the court itself was monitoring the sale of properties.

The bench was dealing with two petitions by Telangana Agri Gold customers and Agents’ Welfare Association and depositor of Akshaya Gold Company against the frauds committed by both companies.
The bench told counsel for Andhra Bank to submit a list of properties pledged with the bank by the Agri Gold management. YSRC seeks seat at TS meetings
The YSRC on Saturday moved the High Court questioning the Telangana state government for not inviting it to the all-party meeting held recently on creation of new districts in the state.
YSRC Telangana state wing general secretary K. Shiva Kumar who moved the plea said the party had been “deliberately ignored” for the August 20 meeting chaired by the Chief Minister.
He said despite their representation, the party was not invited to the meeting.
He urged the court to direct the authorities to invite YSRC along with recognised political parties to participate in subsequent all-party meets.
