Resurvey of land in five villages where survey has not been conducted so far on experimental basis
The Revenue department has focussed its attention on resurvey of 413 villages where survey work has not been taken up since the days of Nizam's rule.
The government has decided to conduct resurvey on an experimental basis in five such villages — Salarnagar village of Gandeed mandal of Mahabubnagar district, Kommanapalli of Bhirpur mandal of Jagtial district, Mulugumada in Errupalem mandal (Khammam), Nuguru of Venkatapuram mandal (Mulugu) and Shahidnagar of Vatpalli (Sangareddy). Gram Sabhas are being conducted in these villages for educating people about the resurvey process which will be completed within a month.
According to Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, it was the responsibility of the officials concerned for effectively implementing the people-centric decisions taken by the government at the field level. The government had decided to induct licenced surveyors as a permanent solution to the land record-related disputes and it was decided to recruit about 5,000 surveyors in different parts of the State in the first phase.
Two-month intensive training would be provided to these surveyors in district headquarters from May 26 and the applicants for the posts were accordingly directed to meet survey officials in their respective districts on Monday. Once the training is completed, it was decided to enrol six to eight surveyors in each mandal depending on the extent of land and volume of transactions.
The development, he said, follows the provision in the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights) Act mandating inclusion of survey document along with other relevant papers at the time of registration of the land. Steps were taken to strengthen the land survey wing in this direction.

HC to hear afresh pleas against Maratha quota law from July 18
Mumbai: A special three-judge bench of Bombay high court will begin hearing afresh the challenges to state's latest iteration of the Maratha reservations on July 18. After the Supreme Court directive, HC, in May, constituted a new three-judge bench to hear the petitions, including those filed as public interest litigations, challenging the constitutional validity of the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2024, which provides 10% reservation for the Maratha community in govt jobs and admissions to educational institutions. The state opposed the request for consideration of any interim relief. The new full bench of Justices Ravindra V Ghuge, N J Jamadar, and Sandeep Marne on Wednesday recorded submissions of advocate general Birendra Saraf. There were detailed arguments heard in 2024 on interim relief, after which there was an interim arrangement that all further admissions to educational institutions and employment would be subject to court orders. Saraf submitted that this has operated for over a year and that the request for fresh consideration of interim relief was unwarranted. Pradeep Sancheti, senior counsel for a petitioner, sought an earlier date. Other lawyers also argued, saying students who took admission last year were also affected and hence, were seeking interim orders. In May, Supreme Court asked HC to expeditiously hear the pleas, including applications by students appearing for the undergraduate and postgraduate National Eligibility cum Entrance Test of 2025. The students filed pleas seeking interim relief, claiming that a delay in the disposal of pleas was impacting their right to equal consideration in the admission process. The petitions were not fully heard when the then HC Chief Justice was transferred in Jan as Delhi high court Chief Justice. Supreme Court said if Bombay HC cannot hear the matter for final disposal then it may consider interim relief. HC has now fixed a schedule to hear the matter at length on the main challenge. Last July, HC had observed that the Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission, headed by former HC judge Justice S B Shukre, was a necessary party to be heard in one of the PILs filed before it.
