Emaar asks HC to restrain APIIC

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, Oct. 1: Emaar Hills Township Pvt Ltd has approached the AP High Court seeking a direction from it to restrain the AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) from interfering in any manner with the progress of the project.

The APIIC had served a legal notice on the company to withdraw the development agreement.

Aggrieved by the action of the APIIC, the Emaar Hills approached court and challenged the notice issued by the APIIC. The company contended that APIIC has no power to either serve the notice or to terminate the development agreement.

The petitioner also urged the court to call for the records related to the issue.

Case against Allu Aravind stayed

The AP High Court on Friday stayed all further criminal proceedings against Mr Allu Aravind, general secretary of Praja Rajyam in a lower court. Justice R. Kantha Rao while dealing with a petition filed by Mr Aravind seeking a direction to quash criminal proceedings granted interim orders.

According to the petitioner, the Jubilee Hills police registered a case against him for allegedly insulting the national flag by hoisting it upside down at the Chiranjeevi Blood Bank on August 15.
