Nandamuri Lakshmi Parvathi, widow of former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao, is still staying in her old house at Road No. 13, Banjara Hills, defying the state high court’s order in March, asking her to vacate it within two months.
The court order was given on March 9 and she was supposed to vacate it by May 9. But a journalist who went to her a few days ago to invite her to the marriage of this editor’s daughter was surprised that she has not made any attempt to vacate it. Perhaps, the family members of NTR did not insist on her vacating the house immediately or she might have asked them some more time to do so.
Actually, the house belongs to NTR’s younger daughter Uma Maheshwari, who stays abroad. Lakshmi Parvathi has been waging a legal battle against her step children about her house. It was in this house that NTR had died in 1996 and since then, she has been staying in this house. Though Uma Maheshwari had not forcibly evicted her step mother from the House on humanitarian grounds, because of the respect for her father, the other children of NTR, including Harikrishna and Balakrishna, had gone to court asking Lakshmi Parvathi to vacate the House.
The high court, upholding the earlier judgement of city civil court, observed that the NTR family had never accepted Lakshmi Parvathi as one among them and fought with her about all the possessions that NTR left behind, including the party he founded.
