Telangana HC cancels land allotment to international arbitration centre in Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: Telangana HC Friday set aside a 2021 order of the previous BRS govt that had allotted 3.7 acres of prime land in Hyderabad's upscale Raidurg area free of cost to International Arbitration and Mediation Centre (IAMC). The centre was initiated and backed by former CJI N V Ramana. A division bench of Justices K Lakshman and K Sujana was hearing two PILs challenging the allotment of land and the financial assistance of Rs 3 crore annually to IAMC. HC noted that state govt had displayed undue haste in the allotment, violating Telangana Land Revenue Act and Andhra Pradesh Alienation of State Lands Rules, 1975, which mandate market-value payment for land given to private entities. It, however, agreed with the view that institutional arbitration must be promoted by govts and upheld the state's decision to give an annual financial assistance of Rs 3 crore.

SC stays Telangana HC's probe into govt land fraud in Shamshabad
HYDERABAD: The Supreme Court has stayed the Telangana HC's probe into fraudulent ownership claims over 100 acres of govt land in Shamshabad. A Supreme Court bench of Justice MM Sundresh and Justice Rajesh Bindal passed this interim order after hearing a special leave petition filed by Mohammed Taher Khan of Hyderabad challenging the HC order against his claim. On April 10, a bench headed by Justice T Vinod Kumar of the Telangana HC concluded that Khan's claim was based on fabricated documents and directed the state to constitute a special investigation team to probe. He directed the judicial registrar of the HC to file an FIR before Charminar police station as the claimant went to the extent of creating fake judicial orders to grab govt land. The HC bench passed this order while hearing a plea by HMDA which questioned a Rangareddy civil court order. Putting forward the case of HMDA, additional advocate general T Rajanikanth Reddy said litigants have been resorting to fraudulent means to grab govt land to the extent of 180 acres (including the current 100 acres) at Shamshabad acquired by the state in 1990. The HC bench had a probe done internally and concluded that the claimants created judicial orders purported to have been passed in 1988 in the name of Justice N D Patnaik, who was not even elevated as an HC judge at that time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The bench ordered fresh FIR and a probe by govt.

Telangana HC grants interim relief to doctors against compulsory service rule
HYDERBAD: Granting an interim relief to 46 super-speciality doctors, the Telangana HC has directed the government not to enforce the compulsory government service guideline for eight weeks. The direction came in response to a writ petition filed by Dr Srirangam Vamshi and others challenging the enforcement of compulsory government service under GO dated September 6, 2017. The petitioners also sought the release of their original certificates withheld by the authorities. Senior counsel L Ravichander, appearing for the petitioners, argued that many of the doctors had already rendered the required government service or were currently serving in other states. He contended that the enforcement of the GO was arbitrary and unconstitutional, especially when the petitioners had been coerced into signing surety bonds at the time of admission, under threat of cancellation of their seats.
