HC directive to GHMC on Saket Panama

Legal Correspondent

Justice Naushad Ali of the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday directed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) not to approve a revised plan submitted by the builders of Saket Panama flats for further constructions.

The judge passed these interim orders in a writ petition filed by the Saket Panama Flat Owners’ Association.

These flats were specially designed for the aged.

It was contended that though the initial plan was for three blocks, the builders were proceeding with two additional blocks and thereby, converting valuable lung space into concrete area. The judge also restrained the builders from making further constructions.

Court asks the municipal corporation not to approve the revised plan submitted by the builders.
