Do the IIT Hyderabad hostel rules permit local students to go home after classes on Saturday evening and return on Monday for their morning classes?

Yes, IIT Hyderabad hostel rules permit local students to go home after classes on Saturday and come back on Monday. However, in my opinion, I don’t think this is a good practice as you will be missing out on a major part of your IIT experience. 

In reality, it’s the hostel life at IIT that shapes your personality and helps you grow as a person. Only academics cannot help you shape your career. Despite the mediocre hostel facilities, IITians always miss the incredible college life they lived. During weekends students look forward to many activities including interactions with their batchmates and seniors. While some may deem it as unimportant, trust me it’s the most important part of an IITian. The lessons you will learn from your seniors will help you go a long way in your life.
