High Court seeks removal of encroachments

Legal Correspondent

HYDERABAD: A Division Bench of the High Court on Tuesday directed the authorities to remove all the encroachments on the pavements in the twin cities within a month.

The Bench was dealing with a writ petition filed by an advocate complaining against the inaction of the authorities in taking steps to prevent accidents on the road.

The Bench said that the civil court concerned may not give an injunction against the drive taken up by the authorities to clear the pavements of the encroachments.
