The Andhra Pradesh (AP) High Court, on the 26th of June, rejected the lunch motion petition filed against the demolition of the Praja Vedika building.
Advocate Srinivas filed the petition on behalf of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to stop the demolition of the Praja Vedika.
Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of AP, on the 24th of June, ordered, the illegally constructed Praja Vedika be demolished by the evening of the 26th of June.
The process of demolition of the Praja Vedika started on the night of the 25th of June, after the two day Collector’s Conference on the 24th and the 25th of June.
The AP High Court dismissed the lunch motion petition and postponed the case for two weeks. The Court said it will hear the arguments about the recovery of expenses, but will not give a stay order for the demolition process.
Initially, the TDP filed a house motion petition, later, on the advice of the Registrar of the High Court, Srinivas filed the lunch motion petition.
Although the High Court dismissed the case saying it will be heard after two weeks, Srinivas is trying to convince the Court to begin the hearing.
The officials, with the help of two building breaker machines and four transport vehicles, started the demolition process of the Praja Vedika building.
The demolition is expected to finish by the evening of the 26th of June.
