Hyd: IIT venue creates a furore
Opposition parties and the ruling Congress called a blockade over where the proposed Hyderabad IIT should be setup.

New Delhi: In Hyderabad, traffic on National Highway 9 and National Highway 7 was hit after both the Opposition parties and the ruling Congress called a blockade over where the proposed IIT should be set up.

The Government's decision to shift the venue of the proposed IIT from Basar in Adilabad district to Medak district has invited the ire of the Opposition, which demands an IIT at Basar.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice G S Singhvi and Justice C V Nagarajuna Reddy said that it was a policy decision of the Government and refused to interfere.

The court said that unless the petitioner could point out a violation of any constitutional right, it could not interdict the decision making process.

The Bench dismissed the writ petition filed by former MP of TDP, Venugopala Chary. In his petition, he said that the Government had taken the decision to shift the venue of the proposed IIT on political considerations.
