Hyderabad,Sept. 10: The state government on Thursday made it clear that the High Court should function from the existing building and make use of the adjoining premises of the old maternity hospital till suitable land is allocated for its new complex.
The chief secretary, Mr Ramakanth Reddy, said this to the representatives of the High Court Advocates’ Association in the presence of the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, and Chief Justice Anil R. Dave on Thursday. Mr Rosaiah had visited the fire-damaged High Court building along with Mr Ramakanth Reddy and the representatives of the advocates’ association had presented a memorandum seeking 150 acres for the new High Court complex.
Even the Chief Justice requested Mr Rosaiah to provide an alternative site for the court. To this, Mr Rosaiah said that he will instruct the Ranga Reddy collector to identify a suitable land and suggested the Chief Justice to continue the proceedings at the existing building.
Reacting to the demands of the association, Mr Ramakanth Reddy said the government cannot accommodate the advocates in either the old Begumpet airport or the MCHRD Institute on a temporary basis because many procedures are involved in vacating the existing offices.
He said the government has handed over the premises of the old maternity hospital to the court.
