Hyderabad, June 12: The AP High Court on Thursday asked the the Revenue department counselto get instructions and details from the government on alleged demolition of 1800 years-old mud fort at Kamarapukota in West Godavari district.
A division bench comprising Chief Justice AR Dave and Justice R Subhash
Reddy heard a PIL filed by K Suresh and others of the village alleging that revenue officials have been digging the wall of the mud fort by using machines.
The petitioner told the court that there is threat to the ancient "Bhadrakali Sametha Veerabhadra Swamy" temple situated within the premises.
Ms D Lalitha Prasad, counsel for the petitioner, informed the court that the fort was build by Kamareddy, one of the Reddy kings.
On the western side of the fort there's a moat and officials are trying to fill up the moat with debris to allot house sites to weaker sections.
The petitioners urged the court to direct that the government declare the fort as "ancient" property.
