HC summons cop for harassing Bhoodan case petitioner
Hyderabad: Justice K Lakshman of Telangana high court on Monday directed police constable Venkateshwarlu of the Maheshwaram police station to appear before the court on Tuesday (Aug 5) to explain why he was making multiple threatening calls to a petitioner in the Bhoodan land case. The judge was hearing a lunch motion moved by Vadthya Ramulu, the petitioner who was seeking a probe by a commission of inquiry under the provisions of the Commissions of Inquiry Act on certain land transactions at Nagaram village of Maheswaram mandal in Rangareddy district. The judge earlier heard at length from two petitioners, who charged the state with inaction and its authorities with connivance in the midst of slipping away of huge tracts of govt/Bhoodan land into the hands of certain private people and bureaucrats in a discreet manner. The bureaucrats and the state stoutly refused any wrong doing. The judge reserved his orders last week. Now, the petitioner came to the court with an urgent petition about the police harassment. The judge summoned the constable and posted the case to Tuesday. Vadthya Ramulu, claiming around 10 acres of land in survey number 194, has approached the high court seeking an inquiry commission. He expressed a grievance that because of the recent land transactions, his land particulars from the revenue web portal, Bhu Bharathi, were deleted without any notice to him. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!

The judge, further said that he would direct the complainants in all the six FIRs to appear before the court for filing multiple cases for a similar offence. The complainants, in their complaint, sought registration of criminal cases under a particular provision of law. The judge wondered how the complainants were dictating terms to police. Kaushik is facing allegations of abusing chief minister A Revanth Reddy in a derogatory language. The Judge passed the interim order while hearing a plea by Kaushik Reddy, who brought to the notice of the court the multiple FIRs against him all over the state.

Telangana HC pulls up Bhoodan board for failing to furnish land details
HYDERABAD: Justice K Lakshman of the Telangana High Court on Wednesday came down heavily on the Bhoodan Yagna Board for its failure to provide vital information on Bhoodan lands in the state. Expressing serious concern over the board's 'callous and casual attitude,' the judge noted that despite an order having been passed two days earlier, it had not submitted any data. While hearing multiple writ petitions pertaining to alleged irregularities in the sale and mutation of Bhoodan lands, the judge directly addressed Kiran Kumar Gattu, standing counsel for the Bhoodan Yagna Board, and questioned the board's commitment to its statutory responsibilities. 'Is it not your duty to protect the Bhoodan lands, not only at Nagaram village, Maheshwaram mandal, RR district, but also in the entire state of Telangana? You have not even furnished one square foot of information pertaining to the Bhoodan lands,' Justice Lakshman observed. In response, standing counsel submitted that the relevant information was available with the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA). The judge then directed him to obtain the required data from the CCLA and submit a comprehensive report to the court. The court specifically sought details under three key heads: Lands received by the Bhoodan Yagna Board from donors; extent of Bhoodan lands distributed to needy peasants and farmers and the remaining lands still with the Bhoodan Yagna Board across Telangana. Meanwhile, senior advocate P Sriraghu Ram, appearing on behalf of a land purchaser, opposed the plea filed by petitioner Vadthya Ramulu, who sought the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry by the state government. He argued that a private individual could not seek a judicial direction for such an appointment. However, T Rajnikanth Reddy, additional advocate general of Telangana, informed the court that the state government is willing to constitute an inquiry commission to investigate allegations of illegal mutation and alienation of Bhoodan lands, particularly in survey No: 194 and 195 of Nagaram village, provided the court issues the necessary directions. The matter pertains to a writ petition filed by Vadthya Ramulu, a resident of Padmavati Colony, RR district, and two similar petitions filed by Birla Mallesh, alleging that Bhoodan lands were sold illegally to private parties in collusion with revenue officials, and even mutated in the names of senior IAS and IPS officers. After hearing arguments from all sides, Justice Lakshman adjourned the matter to Thursday for further hearing.
