HC serves notice on State govt against allotment of land to Sharada Peetham

Hyderabad: State High Court on Tuesday served notice on the State government against the allotment of land to Sharada Peetham at throw away prices.

Based on a petition filed by Veera Chary from Secunderabad, High Court Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan asked State Chief Secretary S K Joshi, Rangareddy District Collector, HMDA and the peetham authorities to file a counter on the petition.
