Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has directed the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) to remove within 24 hours a signboard it had put up on a residential plot in Sahebnagar Kalan, Hayathnagar, holding that the agency’s action appeared, at this preliminary stage, to go against an earlier order passed by the court. The court also restrained HYDRAA and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) from interfering with the owners’ possession of the property without following due legal process. What led to the High Court orderThe petitioners had earlier challenged the GHMC’s revocation of their building permission on November 19, 2024, along with a demolition notice issued by HYDRAA on December 13, 2024. In a common order dated March 2, 2026, the High Court had set aside both the revocation and the demolition notice. The petitioners’ counsel argued that, without following the required procedure, HYDRAA officials forcibly entered the property and put up the board.
