Telangana High Court red flags Telangana over Errum Manzil plans

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Refusing to issue a stay or order status quo on the decision of the TS government to demolish the Errum Manzil, the Telangana High Court told the state government orally on Monday that it should not go forward with the demolition of the 150-year-old palace until the adjudication of the cases before it. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Shameem Akther was dealing with four petitions seeking to restrain the government from demolishing Errum Manzil. Vishveshwar Rao, in a PIL challenging the demolition of Errum Manzil, put forth the submission that as per the AP Re-organisation Act, 2014, Hyderabad city is a common capital for Telang-ana and Andhra Pradesh and the common Governor of both Telugu states was empowered to take a decision on major issues whereas, on this issue, the Cabinet had taken the decision to demolish it. Meanwhile, Noori Muzaffar Hussain and seven others, who claim to be the legal heirs of Nawab Safdar Jung Musheer-ud-daula Fakrul Mulk, who built Errum Manzil, filed a writ petition before the High Court, seeking a direction to the state government not to demolish the structure.
