HC reserves interim order on construction of houses for poor in R-5 zone
Deccan ChronicleVIJAYAWADA: The Andhra Pradesh High Court asked the state government a pointed question on Friday -- Who would take responsibility in case an adverse judgment is given on the construction of houses for the poor in the R-5 zone in Amaravati? The bench observed that the state government while issuing pattas to the beneficiaries, has stated that the allotment of house sites was subject to the final verdict of the high court. Petitioners’ counsels Dammalapati Srinvias, Unnam Muralidhara and Karumanchi Indraneel argued that the state government was going ahead with the allotments even as the issue was still pending before the court. As the state government was getting ready to lay the foundations for the houses for the poor on July 24, counsels sought an interim order to stall the construction of these houses.
