Telangana Government Faces Setback in High Court Over Himayatsagar Land Acquisition
Hyderabad: The Telangana government has faced another setback in the High Court over the proposed acquisition of land in the Himayatsagar area for the Musi Riverfront project.
Landowners affected by the proposed acquisition have approached the High Court. They challenged the government’s move to take possession of their lands in the name of the Musi Riverfront project.
During the hearing, the petitioners’ lawyers questioned the government’s decision to proceed with the land acquisition without a Detailed Project Report (DPR).
Advocates K. Vivek Reddy and K. Prateek Reddy appeared for the petitioners. They questioned how the government could proceed with land acquisition without first preparing the required DPR.
The lawyers also raised concerns over the proposed taking over of the petitioners’ lands for the project.
After hearing the arguments, the High Court directed the Telangana government to file its counter immediately.
The court also directed the government not to take possession of the petitioners’ lands until further orders.
