HC asks petitioner to file pics of construction in Komati Kunta tank FTL area

Telangana High Court on Friday adjourned to April 30 the hearing of a PIL petition questioning the inaction of different government departments over construction of a multi-storeyed building within full tank level (FTL) of Komati Kunta cheruvu (tank) in Bachupally of Medchal Malkajigiri district.

Petitioner Akula Satish said that Vasavi Infra was building the structure within the FTL area of the tank and the officials of concerned government wings like Revenue, HMDA and Nizampet Municipal Corporations were not acting against the illegal structures.

The counsel for Vasavi Infra informed the HC bench comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice Anil Kumar Jukanti that the building did not fall under the FTL of Komati Kunta cheruvu. He assured the court that his client was ready to give an undertaking to that extent.

The CJ directed the petitioner’s counsel to file photographs of the building pertaining to construction of eighth and ninth floors along with the survey reports prepared by the government departments.
