Taking up another report of the newspaper as PIL petition, the bench instructed the Central and State governments to initiate steps to repair Golconda fort. The bench summoned the Archaeological Survey of India director to appear before it on November 26.

Justice K. Lakshman of Telangana High Court had directed the Banjara Hills police of Hyderabad not to arrest Prasad Veera Potluri in a criminal case registered against him till completion of investigation and filing of final report.

The order said that the police are at liberty to take appropriate steps in accordance with the law if Mr. Prasad did not cooperate with the investigating officer.
