Here are the latest developments in the case pertaining to Raghavendra Rao.

Notice from Telangana High Court: The Telangana High Court has recently re-issued notices to veteran Tollywood director K. Raghavendra Rao, his brother K. Krishnamohan Rao, and their family. This notice pertains to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in 2012.

Land Allotment in 1984: The legal dispute centers around the allocation of a two-acre plot of land in Survey No. 403/1 of Banjara Hills, back in 1984. The intended purpose of this land was the construction of a recording and re-recording theatre.

Change in Land Use: In 2003, the Telangana government granted permission for the construction of a mini-theatre, a film training institute, and a conference hall on this land. Allegedly, the family developed a commercial complex on the same property, contrary to its original designated purpose.

2012 PIL Filing: In response to this change in land use, a PIL was filed in 2012. Balakishan, a resident of Medak, filed this Public Interest Litigation, contending that the commercial usage of the 2-acre land (RK Cineplex) violated established rules and regulations.

Court Proceedings: The court had previously issued notices related to this petition, but since their receipt wasn't officially confirmed, new notices were re-issued. The court has postponed the hearing to January 18.

Hearing by a Two-Judge Bench: Chief Justice Alok Arathe and Justice NV Shravan Kumar, comprising a two-judge bench, are overseeing the petition.

Defendants Served Notices: Notably, the defendants in this case include Raghavendra Rao and his family members - Krishnamohan Rao, Chakraborty, Vijayalakshmi, Akhilandeshwari, and Lalasa Devi.
