The High Court of Telangana, presided over by Justice T Vinod Kumar, addressed a petition submitted by Shiva Reddy, challenging the inaction of GHMC regarding the alleged illegal encroachment onto footpath by M/s. Rameshwaram Cafe, Madhapur.

What inconvenience has Rameshwaram Cafe caused to public?
According to the petitioner, the location of Rameshwaram Cafe in Madhapur has resulted in congestion to the internal connecting roads, and alleged encroachment of footpath, causing mobility issues.

The Court reprimanded the authorities for failing to furnish the building permit documents to the petitioner, highlighting a lapse in compliance with legal procedures.
