Telangana HC junks plea against Vikarabad court complex site
Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Saturday, October 31, rejected a petition challenging the Vikarabad court complex site.
A bench comprising Acting Chief Justice P Sam Koshy and Justice Suddala Chalapathi Rao rejected the PIL filed by a group of advocates from Vikarabad district, who had questioned the suitability of the proposed site.
The bench observed that the petition doesn’t serve the public interest and delays infrastructure development. The petitioners argued that the location, a low-lying rocky area, was earlier found to be unsuitable by erstwhile principal district and sessions judges and sought allotment of an alternative site.
The bench questioned the maintainability of the PIL and asked how the proposed site selection affected the public at large.
“A new high court is being constructed at Budwel. How is that going to affect the public?” the bench asked.
The court also observed, “Of late, this has become a trend, wherever the state is allotting lands, one section of the bar supports, another section opposes. Ultimately, it has to be of larger interest. Such matters are only delaying projects.”
Holding that no case for interference was made out, the bench dismissed the petition.
