The Andhra Pradesh High Court imposed a stay on the construction of houses for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in R-5 zone in Amaravati.
A full Bench comprising Justices D.V.S.S. Somayajulu, Cheekati Manavendranath Roy and Ravinath Tilhari issued an interim order to that effect on Thursday.
They had reserved the verdict on July 22 after hearing a batch of interlocutory applications that challenged the carrying out of works for constructing the houses during the pendency of writ petitions filed against the modifications made in Amaravati master plan for creating the R-5 zone.
