Hyderabad, April 6 : The principal chief conservator of forests (wild life), Mr Hitesh Malhotra, on Wednesday appeared before Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy of the High Court in connection with a contempt case.
The judge summoned the official for not implementing the court order granted in favour of Sree Keerthi Combines, a film producing firm. The firm was making movie with Balakrishna as hero and it had decided to shoot some scenes in reserve forest at Visakhapatnam.
As the authorities refused to grant permission, the filmmakers approached the court and the court granted an interim order by directing them to deposit `5 lakh as security for restoration of the site to its original condition after shooting. The judge asked the official why was the shooting stopped abruptly though shooting was allowed for about 28 days. The judge granted two weeks to implement the court order.
