Telangana HC notice to govt on land ceiling misuse; PIL alleges firms bypassing law, impacting farmers & food production
HYDERABAD: The Telangana high court on Friday issued notices to principal secretary (revenue) and law secretary to file counters conveying the govt stand on a PIL accusing them of not implementing the provisions of Telangana Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973, in the state. A bench of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara, which converted into a PIL a letter written by Kanchari Brahmam, president of Singur Jalasadhana Committee in Alladurg, Medak, gave authorities four weeks to file their counters. The petitioner in his letter contended that the Act was meant to prevent concentration of agricultural land in the hands of a few and ensure that it was used for its rightful purpose, which was food production. But defeating the very purpose of the Act to impose a ceiling, several individuals were floating companies to buy and keep huge land banks as the Act provides certain exemptions to companies. This was resulting in huge tracts of land lying idle and not being available for food production, he said You Can Also Check: Hyderabad AQI | Weather in Hyderabad | Bank Holidays in Hyderabad | Public Holidays in Hyderabad The petitioner pointed out that a lot of corporate entities have acquired agricultural land, leading to monopolisation of ownership where a select few control vast tracts. Such concentration may also contribute to an artificial increase in land prices which will lead to a stage where farmers will not be able to buy them for agriculture, turning them into labourers in the same land, he said. "This is a huge disadvantage for farmers which would eventually threaten food security for all," Brahmam said in his letter. Unauthorised holding of land by a few would lead to misuse of natural resources and underutilisation of land, he said. "This adversely affects the livelihoods of farmers and derails the growth of agricultural sector. lt is imperative that strict action be taken to reclaim such land and redistribute them as per the provisions of the law, ensuring justice for farmers and the agricultural sector," he said. He urged the court to take legal action against those found guilty of violating the provisions of the Act as well as necessary corrective measures to restore the land for agricultural purposes.

The petitioner alleged that several heritage sites in the Old City were being targeted for demolition as part of the Metro project.

Telangana HC seeks replies on illegal buildings near Osmansagar, Himayatsagar eco-zones
HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court on Thursday directed various departments of the state government and some private individuals to submit within four weeks their responses to a PIL challenging illegal constructions in the eco-sensitive zones surrounding the Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs. A bench of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara was hearing the PIL filed by Mandadi Madhava Reddy, a resident of Pedda Mangalaram village in Moinabad mandal of Rangareddy district, alleging inaction by the departments concerned in curbing unauthorised constructions in areas protected under Government Order 111 (GO 111) dated March 8, 1996. These areas fall within a 10km radius of the catchment regions of the twin reservoirs, which play a crucial role in Hyderabad's water supply and ecological balance. The bench issued notices to the Chief Secretary, principal secretaries of the Irrigation & CAD department and the MAUD department, the state Pollution Control Board, HMWSSB, HMDA, GHMC and several other authorities. Notices were also served on the private respondents, and the matter was adjourned until after the summer vacation in 2025. In his petition, Madhava Reddy argued that rampant illegal constructions are taking place in the bio-conservation zone in blatant violation of environmental and constitutional mandates, including the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and binding judicial pronouncements by the National Green Tribunal and the Supreme Court of India.
