HYDERABAD: Taking a serious view over non-compliance of court orders, the Telangana High Court on Wednesday issued Form-1 notice to TRS MLA and Kamareddy district party president Gampa Goverdhan, revenue secretary Somesh Kumar and other officials concerned to appear in court in a contempt case relating to construction of a party office on the petitioners’ land at Paiki Vadloor village in Nizamabad district. Justice Challa Kodanda Ram was passing this order in a contempt case filed by N Pratap Reddy.
