High Court Stays N Convention Demolition

High Court stays N Convention Demolition.Nagarjuna Akkineni Secures Stay Order on Demolition of N Convention in Hyderabad.

Actor and producer Nagarjuna Akkineni has secured a stay order from the Telangana High Court on the demolition of his N Convention facility in Madhapur. The demolition was initiated on Saturday morning by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) following complaints of encroachment on lake land.

Nagarjuna maintains that the land is a "Patta land" (legally registered) and no encroachment on the lake bed has occurred. He also claims that a previous court order already prohibited any demolition of the building constructed on the private land.

In his statement, Nagarjuna expressed his dismay at the "unlawful manner" of the demolition, claiming it violated existing court orders. He asserted his commitment to fighting the officials legally and protecting his reputation.

However, BJP MP Raghunandhan Rao has criticized the court's decision to grant a stay order, arguing that the construction was illegal and should be demolished. He emphasized the need to protect Hyderabad's lakes and demanded the government demolish all illegally constructed properties encroaching on lake lands.

This case highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding illegal constructions in Hyderabad, particularly those encroaching on lakes. The court's decision to grant a stay order while the case is being heard has sparked debate, raising questions about the efficacy of legal protections and the government's commitment to environmental preservation.
