A two-judge Bench of the Telangana High Court comprising Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N Tukaramji on Monday expressed serious dissatisfaction at the manner in which the State Tourism Development Corporation was dealing with the Hill Fort Palace. The Bench was dealing with a public interest litigation case which sought restoration and conservation of the notified heritage monument the Hill Fort Palace.

The Bench observed that despite multiple requests, there was no positive outcome. The Bench summoned the MD of TSTDC to be present in court on April 29 and made clear that if on the said day a tangible plan for development was not placed before the court, the Bench will not hesitate to initiate contempt proceedings.
