High Court notices to Telangana govt
The bench of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara instructed the State government to file its response within four weeks over the issues raised in the PIL plea.
Singur Jalasadhana Committee (Alladurg of Medak) president Kanchari Brahmam wrote a letter to the High Court stating that some individuals were floating companies and buying lands on large scale. These huge agricultural land masses were being kept idle, defeating the purpose of using them for agricultural production or growing crops for food production.
The said special Act was supposed to check such misuse of land but the authorities were not acting upon the issue. The High Court converted the letter into PIL plea and issued notices to the government.

Compensate farmers for KLIP land: HC to Telangana
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court has directed the state govt and the irrigation department to compensate farmers under the Land Acquisition Act , 2013, if private patta land parcels are getting submerged due to the Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project in Rajanna Sircilla district. Justice CV Bhaskar Reddy has issued the directions while hearing petitions filed by farmers from Malkapet village in Konaraopet mandal, alleging that their agricultural land and crops were being inundated due to water being diverted into the village tank (Pedda Cheruvu) through the right canal of package 9 of the Kaleshwaram project. Despite a representation submitted on May 9, 2025, requesting the authorities to halt the water flow and protect their livelihoods, there was no response, the farmers claimed. The govt counsel argued that the canal serves a larger public purpose, catering to an ayacut of over 25,000 acres across three mandals and claimed that the petitioners' land parcels fall under the full tank level (FTL) of the village tank area that traditionally get submerged during water storage and hence, the farmers cannot claim compensation.

The court also clarified that if the said land was Shikam Sarkari (govt), the authorities could continue canal works without such acquisition.

13 nonfunctional parties set to lose recognition
Hyderabad: In accordance with the directives established by the Election Commission of India (ECI), C Sudharshan Reddy, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Telangana, has sent show cause notices to 13 registered unrecognised political parties (RUPPs) that are no longer active within the State. Under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, registration of a political party is for the purpose of participating in elections. However, as per ECI records, these RUPPs have not fielded any candidates in the general, Assembly or by-elections in the last six years. This shows that these parties are not functioning as political parties as envisaged by the Act. In this context, the ECI has proposed to remove these parties from the register of political parties. However, before such action, the parties have been given an opportunity to submit their explanation. These show cause notices direct them to submit a written explanation, supporting documents and an affidavit from the party president or general secretary by July 11, 2025. The 13 RUPPs which were served show cause notices were Telangana Karmika Raithu Rajyam Party, Indian Minorities Political Party, Jago Party, National People's Congress, Telangana Loksatta Party, Telangana Minorities OBC Rajyam, Yuva Party, Bahujan Samaj Party (Ambedkar-Phule), Telangana Students United For Nation Party, Andhra Pradesh Rashtra Samaikya Samithi Party, Jatiya Mahila Party, Yuva Telangana Party and Telangana Praja Samithi (Kishore, Rao and Kishan).

American Combat Boot Alliance welcomes introduction of BOOTS Act
The American Combat Boot Alliance (ACBA) recently welcomed introduction of the Better Outfitting Our Troops (BOOTs) Act to ensure that all combat boots supplied to the US military are indigenously made in accordance with the Berry Amendment. The Berry Amendment requires the department of defense to purchase certain items, primarily clothing and food, from domestic sources. 'Over the past several years, there has been a concerning influx of poorly made, non-Berry Amendment-compliant, foreign-sourced footwear procured by United States Army and United States Air Force service members,' ACBA, a coalition comprising US manufacturers committed to the readiness and combat effectiveness of warfighters, said in a letter to Nikki Budzinski from the House of Representatives and Tammy Duckworth from the Senate. The American Combat Boot Alliance has welcomed introduction of the Better Outfitting Our Troops (BOOTs) Act to ensure that all combat boots supplied to the US military are indigenously made in accordance with the Berry Amendment. Over the past several years, there has been a concerning influx of poorly made, non-Berry Amendment-compliant, foreign-sourced footwear procured by US military staff. 'The growing reliance on foreign products has led to the further erosion within the domestic footwear industrial base that supports the warfighter, resulting in over 750,000 pair of non-US manufactured combat boots being sold to Army and Air Force personnel each year,' the letter noted. These inferior products are subject to import tariffs, leaving vendors no choice but to pass the additional costs onto service members. These increased costs may exceed retail prices of domestically manufactured combat footwear, the ACBA letter said. Military service members receive annual Congressionally-appropriated uniform allowances for non-issued uniform items. The BOOTs Act will ensure that they can effectively use their taxpayer-funded uniform allowance to purchase American-made combat footwear, the letter said. This legislation also helps secure the challenged combat footwear supply chain industrial base, diversify the selection of domestic combat boots and ensure that US companies can meet surge demands in times of crisis, it added. ACBA member entities include the American Apparel & Footwear Association, the National Council of Textile Organisations, the US Footwear Manufacturers Association and several other private manufacturers.
