Hyderabad,March 27: The AP Congress Committee has lodged a complaint with the AP High Court that the Campaign for Housing and Tenural Rights (CHATRI), a voluntary organisation, has been misusing law to intimidate and extract benefits from it.
The APCC president, Mr D. Srinivas, submitted an affidavit to the court pursuant to a notice issued by it in connection with the Bhimraobada land controversy.
CHATRI has filed a petition in the court seeking a direction to cancel the land allotment to APCC for constructing its party headquarters.
Mr Srinivas told the court that the claim of the petitioner, which is fighting for the welfare and interest of the needy poor, was not true. He alleged that the activity of CHATRI is only in filing cases against different companies, organisations and individuals.
“This itself shows its litigant attitude and in these circumstances, we could understand the motive of the petitioner,” he added.
Mr Srinivas told the court that the allotment of land in their favour with nominal consideration was subject to the relaxation of the earlier GO and issuing of a new GO based on the factual situation and circumstances of the matter.
He said land was allotted for APCC keeping in view the history and sacrifices made by the party but not for the purpose of monetary benefit to the government. He added that the question of public auction by inviting tenders does not arise.
The APCC president urged the court to dismiss the petition as it was filed with an ulterior motive with costs.
