Chiranjeevi moves High Court for GHMC permit
Hyderabad, July 15 (INN): Telugu film actor Chiranjeevi approached the Telangana High Court expressing disappointment over the inaction of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials regarding permission for renovation work at his residence in Jubilee Hills.
Chiranjeevi informed the court that he had constructed the house in 2000 after securing all necessary approvals during the tenure of then Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in united Andhra Pradesh. Recently, he applied to the GHMC for permission to renovate the property and submitted all relevant documents, seeking approval for structural modifications.
Despite a month having passed, GHMC officials allegedly failed to respond to his application or communicate with him. Frustrated by the silence, Chiranjeevi filed a petition in the High Court requesting intervention and permission to proceed with the renovation as per legal provisions.
During the hearing, the High Court expressed strong displeasure over the GHMC's conduct and questioned how much more time officials required to issue a permit. The bench also criticised the corporation for encouraging unauthorised constructions while delaying approvals for legal requests.
The court directed GHMC to expedite the process and grant Chiranjeevi the necessary permission without further delay.
