HC seeks Govt stand on media coverage of Secretariat demolition

Disha case: Telangana HC approves Fast Track Court

A single Judge Bench of Telangana High court Justice Challa Kodanda Ram today asked the state  government to inform its stand by tomorrow to the petition filed with a plea to allow the print and electronic media to cover and report the ongoing demolition activity of old Secretariat buildings.

The Judge said that he will pass appropriate orders if the state did not respond by tomorrow on the issue. Arguing the case, the government counsel told the high court that as per provisions of the Construction Rules, only workers would be allowed to the demolition site and added that it can’t allow anybody at the demolition site.  This has prompted the High Court to wonder if  the state government can issue a bulletin on the day to day demolition activity like it is doing on Covid 19 virus pandemic status. The counsel for the state government said that 95 percent of the demolition works had been completed by the government.

He told the High Court that he would submit the stand of the state government before the High Court on the issue and sought time till Monday. However the HC declined to give time till Monday and asked the counsel to come up with its stand till Friday . The Matter was  posted to Friday for further hearing later by the High Court.
