Summary: A case about a disputed cell tower on an apartment rooftop in Hyderabad was dropped because B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari didn't attend the court sessions.

The Case: B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari vs. Respondents

In this case, B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari, who live in Veda Pranathi Apartments, filed a complaint. They were upset about a cell tower put up on their building's rooftop by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL). They claimed it was not allowed and wanted it taken down.

The Respondents' Side

The other side included the Municipal Administration Department, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), and BSNL. They were represented by their lawyers, Sri M. Arun Kumar and Smt. P. Sharada.

No Show from B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari

The case was scheduled several times in October 2025. However, B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari didn't show up on 06.10.2025 and 15.10.2025. Justice Laxmi Narayana Alishetty noted their absence and planned to drop the case.

"It seems like the petitioners are not interested in continuing with the case."

Final Verdict: Case Dropped

Since B. Sreenivasulu and M. V. Ramani Kumari still didn't show up, the court dropped the case on 24.10.2025. Justice Alishetty declared the complaint dropped because the petitioners didn't follow through. No costs were ordered, and any other pending requests were closed.
