The Telangana High Court has raised significant concerns over the practices of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HYDRA), particularly regarding its demolition activities. In a recent ruling, the court criticized HYDRA for conducting demolitions during weekends and after sunset, actions that have been deemed illegal based on previous judgments.

Justice Lakshman, during the court proceedings, admonished HYDRA officials for their disregard for established legal precedents and the broader implications of such unchecked powers. The court humorously questioned whether HYDRA would consider demolishing iconic historical structures like the Charminar if ordered, thereby underscoring the absurdity of their current practices.

This judicial scrutiny followed widespread protests from local residents and political entities, including the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM). The protests, which centered on concerns regarding the legality of the demolitions, led to detentions and heightened tensions between citizens and authorities. The High Court’s intervention sheds light on significant legal and procedural issues concerning HYDRA's operations, which have come under fire for not adhering to the rule of law.

The ongoing situation highlights a broader debate on the balance between urban development initiatives and the rights of residents. The court's remarks serve as a reminder that administrative actions must be conducted within the frameworks of legality and ethical governance, free from political influence and personal biases.

As discussions continue regarding the legality and ethics of urban enforcement actions in Hyderabad, the Telangana High Court's criticism of HYDRA serves as a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for justice and accountability in the region.
