K. Raghavendra Rao gets Court Notice

K. Raghavendra Rao gets Court Notice. The Telangana High Court recently served notices to veteran film director K. Raghavendra Rao, his brother K. Krishnamohan Rao, and their family regarding a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in 2012. 

The PIL challenges the allocation of two acres of land (where RK Cineplex stands) in 1984, situated in Survey No. 403/1 of Banjara Hills, which was initially earmarked for constructing a recording and re-recording theatre at the price of Rs.8,500 per acre.Despite the initial intention for a recording theatre, in 2003, the TDP government permitted the construction of a mini-theatre, a film training institute, and a conference hall. 

However, the family developed a commercial complex, prompting a challenge in a 2012 PIL presented before the High Court.The court had previously issued notices last year, which went unacknowledged.

Consequently, a High Court bench, led by Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, reissued notices and scheduled the matter to be heard in the third week of January.
