Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, during a review meeting in Hyderabad on Friday, directed officials concerned to make necessary arrangements to lay the foundation stone of the new Telangana High Court building in January 2024, an official statement said.
The review meeting on the construction of the new High Court building was attended by Chief Justice of Telangana High Court Alok Aradhe and top officials at the MCRHRD Institute of Telangana in Hyderabad.
On this occasion, the Chief Justice and lawyers drew the Chief Minister’s attention to the need for construction of a new building in view of the dilapidation of the existing High Court building.

The Chief Minister responded positively to this. Officers were ordered to make related arrangements. At the same time, the Chief Justice and lawyers also appealed to the CM to take initiative for the construction of court complexes in new districts. The CM also reminded that since the present High Court building is a heritage building, there is an obligation to protect it.
Revanth Reddy assured that the building will be renovated and used for the city court or other court buildings. The review meeting was attended by Chief Secretary to the Government, Smt. Shanthi Kumari, Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Shri Naveen Mittal, Secretary to the Chief Minister, Shri Seshadri, Collectors of Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts and other officials.
