Telangana HC directs GHMC to issue notice to Jubilee Hills eatery

Justice T. Vinod Kumar of the Telangana High Court granted three weeks’ time to GHMC to kick start procedures under law against Babylon Bar and Kitchen, a popular eatery at Jubilee Hills.

The judge was dealing with a writ petition filed by Muzammil Asif, who complained of inaction on the part of the GHMC for their unauthorised and illegal structures.

According to the petitioner, the management of the bar deviated from the sanctioned plan and did not provide for parking facilities at the place. The petitioner also



complained that he had given his car for valet parking when he visited the bar. But the valet driver drove the car negligently at high speed and hit the car which caused it a lot of damage.

The petitioner alleged that the incident had occurred due to the fact that the owners of Babylon Bar and Kitchen parked their cars 2-3 km away from it which is violative of GHMC norms. The judge said that the respondent should issue notice to Babylon Bar and Kitchen since time was sought by GHMC.
