Telangana HC Seeks Mediation in Rs 4 Cr Dispute:
The Telangana High Court has taken a significant step towards resolving a longstanding issue between the AP State Film, Television, and Theatre Development Corporation Limited and the Telangana state government, which involves approximately Rs 4 crore. In an effort to find an amicable solution, the court has recommended that the matter be submitted to mediation.
The crux of the matter lies in the corporation’s claim that the Telangana state government owes them a substantial sum of Rs 4,07,71,134 for the utilization of their building premises. Despite the corporation’s repeated attempts to settle this outstanding bill, the government has neither disputed the claim nor provided a response.
Recognizing the need for intervention and resolution, the Telangana High Court has appointed Justice Challa Kodanda Ram, a former judge of the Telangana Court, to mediate the dispute. Parties involved in the dispute have been directed to appear before Justice Challa Kodanda Ram on September 12 to begin the mediation process.
This decision by the court underscores the importance of finding equitable solutions to financial disputes, ensuring that all parties involved receive fair treatment and that outstanding financial obligations are met. Mediation offers a collaborative and less adversarial approach to resolving such matters, and it is hoped that this process will lead to a satisfactory resolution for both the AP State Film, Television, and Theatre Development Corporation Limited and the Telangana state government.
The outcome of the mediation will be eagerly awaited as it has the potential to set a precedent for resolving similar financial disputes in the future. It also reflects the judiciary’s commitment to facilitating dispute resolution through peaceful means, ultimately contributing to the efficient functioning of government agencies and organizations involved.
