The Hyderabad High Court on Thursday will have a final hearing on a public interest litigation seeking a ban on the immersion of Ganesh idols in Hussain Sagar lake in the heart of the city. The High Court on Monday issued a notice to the State to submit a report to the Government on the pros and cons of imposing such a ban.
The petitioner Venu Madhav, a city-based advocate had sought contempt of court proceedings against the concerned officials and the organisers of Ganesh immersion in the lake as they failed to abide by the court order last year.
last week the High Court had directed the State Government to immediately visit Bengaluru and study the model made by the administration in which it has intended to demarcate a part of the lake for idol immersion.
