High Court Slams HYDRA

The Telangana High Court has strongly criticized HYDRA for repeatedly violating court orders and acting in defiance of judicial directions. The court observed that the agency has developed a pattern of carrying out demolitions, erecting boards, and installing fencing, and later attempting to justify its actions through legal loopholes.

The court directed HYDRA to remove boards and fencing installed on the petitioner’s land within 24 hours and restore electricity and other connections at its own cost. The judge also noted allegations that even after stay orders, demolitions were carried out at night with heavy deployment, and warned against actions that undermine the authority of the judiciary.
