Telangana Industries Minister K T Rama Rao today got relief in the Telangana High Court in the issue of his controversial farmhouse.
The apex court of the state stayed the notices issued by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to the minister on June 5.
The NGT had issued notices to the minister following a complaint by Congress MP A Revanth Reddy alleging that the minister had constructed the farmhouse at Janwada village by violating GO No. 111.
The tribunal also constituted an 8-member committee to inquire into the issue.
However, the minister approached the HC challenging the proceedings and the notices issued to him by the NGT.
In his petition he told the HC that the petition was politically motivated, and added that the NGT had taken a unilateral decision in the issue.
He urged the HC to set aside the notice.
The orders of the HC are seen as a blow to Revanth Reddy who had approached the tribunal.
