Hyderabad, June 3 -- The Telangana High Court has directed district and gram panchayat authorities to implement a government order naming the gram panchayat office building in Timmapur village of Siddipet district as "Raji Reddy Bhavan" and ensure that the name is prominently displayed on the premises.

The order was issued by a vacation bench of Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka on May 29 while disposing of a writ petition filed by advocate Ramavaram Madhavi Reddy.

According to the petitioner, her father-in-law, the late Raji Reddy, had served as the village sarpanch. In 2017, the Timmapur Gram Panchayat unanimously passed a resolution to name the newly constructed panchayat office after him in recognition of his services to the village.
