*September 18, 2024*In a major ruling, the Telangana High Court has ordered the demolition of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party office in Nalgonda district, citing illegal construction without proper municipal permissions. The Municipal Department brought the matter to light, stating that the building was constructed in violation of legal protocols.The controversy stems from the fact that the BRS office was built without obtaining the necessary approvals from the municipal authorities. Former minister Komatireddy Venkata Reddy had earlier issued directives to demolish the structure, citing these violations. However, BRS leaders challenged the demolition orders in the Telangana High Court, seeking to regularize the office building through a petition.During today’s hearing, the court questioned the logic of seeking permits post-construction, with the judge making a key comment: “Shouldn’t permits be obtained before construction?” The court ruled that the building was indeed in violation of the law, rejecting the BRS plea for regularization.The High Court has now ordered the demolition of the BRS office within 15 days, sending shockwaves through the party ranks. The ruling leaves the BRS leadership with two options: either comply with the court’s order or escalate the matter to the Supreme Court.This decision has sparked intense debate over the next steps for the party. The legal and political implications of the order are expected to unfold in the coming days.
