Hyderabad
Two important land acquisition proceedings have got green signals from the High Court. On Tuesday, the HC cleared the decks for the housing scheme of a JNNURM project and vacated an interim order staying the acquisition of land at Ghatkesar for the ORR project.
In the first case, Justice CV Nagarjuna Reddy gave its nod to the JNNURM project in a land spread over 63 acres in Kurmalguda village of Saroornagar mandal of Ranga Reddy district.
The judge vacated the earlier interim order. Ch Jangiah had filed a writ petition complaining that the land in question belongs to him as per the certificate of the revenue authorities given in 1998 and, therefore, the government could not go ahead with its project.
However, the government pointed out that the revenue records from 1955 showed that the land belonged to the government and therefore the claims were not valid. Justice Reddy, who looked into the records which were summoned, said prima facie, the claim of the petition is not valid and therefore the project could not be stalled at their instance.
In the second case, Justice R Subash Reddy vacated the interim order staying the acquisition of land at Ghatkesar. Owners of the local land complained that the acquisition of this land would affect their income as the godowns in the said area was a source of their income. They also complained that the land was realigned and in the process, their land is being acquired.
Opposing the plea, the government justified the realignment on the ground that it was necessary to save water bodies, education and religious institutions. The government also successfully contended that the land was compulsorily required for the ORR project and the resultant inconvenience to the petitioners could not be a factor for not acquiring the land.
