Kondakal land: HC suspends Rangareddy collector's order

Hyderabad: Finding fault with the Rangareddy district collector for granting rights over 20 acres of govt land at Kondakal village in Shankarpally mandal to a private party, Justice CV Bhaskar Reddy of the Telangana high court has suspended the collector's order. The court also directed the state govt, revenue, and registration officials not to entertain any sale transactions related to the land until further orders. The interim direction came after hearing a petition filed by Y Sailaja of Filmnagar, Jubilee Hills, who questioned the inaction of officials in protecting govt land allegedly grabbed by a private person. Sailaja said that she owns 2.14 acres in the village, purchased in 2008, and complained that a large compound wall built by one Krishna Ram Bhupal around a 40-acre parcel adjacent to her land had caused access-related issues. Her repeated complaints reportedly yielded no results, as revenue authorities appeared to favour Bhupal.

IC Markets Start Now Undo Justice Bhaskar Reddy, upon summoning the land records, uncovered several startling facts. Reports by revenue and survey officials from a survey conducted a decade ago revealed that Bhupal owned only 20 acres but had encroached upon an additional 20 acres of adjacent govt land. His firm, Bloostic Land Holdings Private Ltd, constructed a compound wall enclosing the entire 40 acres. No action taken against encroachment Instead of initiating action against the encroachment, the district collector issued an order on Dec 29, 2022, directing the assistant director, survey and land records, Rangareddy, to carry out the correction in the village map of Kondakal. The order was issued under Section 90 of the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Land Revenue Act, 1317 Fasli, and allotted new survey and pote numbers under section 87 of the same Act for survey No. 555, based on sub-division records. Criticising the collector's action, Justice Bhaskar Reddy observed: "From a perusal of the record, it would reveal that the deputy director of the survey wing categorically reported that govt land of 20 acres and 12 guntas was encroached by Krishna Ram Bhupal by constructing a compound wall. The collector, without referring to these factual reports by the deputy director and the tahsildar, who also exposed the encroachment, issued proceedings on 29.12.2022 for correction of survey numbers, classifying govt land as patta land." The judge suspended the collector's order and issued notices to the state revenue secretary, district revenue, and survey officials, as well as the private parties involved, seeking their responses by June 24. He further directed that no third party interests should be created over the disputed land, nor should the nature of the land be altered, until further orders.
