Bharati Cements has approached the Hyderabad High Court, alleging that the state has been ?creating hurdles? against the company setting up a plant in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh. The company alleged that the District Collector was ?delaying? the holding of a public meeting in the matter ?at the behest of his political bosses.? Bharati Cements said that the public hearing needed to be held urgently as the company was not in a position to retain the Letter of Intent issued by the authorities for long.
