HYDERABAD: Advocates’ protests continued on Tuesday against the proposal to shift the existing Telangana High court, situated near Madina circle in the Old City, to Budwel on the city outskirts i.e. near Shamshabad airport in Ranga Reddy district. They demanded the authorities concerned to drop the proposal in the interest of advocates’ community and litigants.
