HYDRAA has secured 15 acres of government land located near Cyber Towers in Madhapur by erecting fencing around the property on Wednesday. The land is estimated to be worth nearly ₹3,000 crore. The action was taken in compliance with the orders of the High Court.
The land, situated in Survey Nos. 41/12, 41/13 and 41/14 of Khanamet Village in Serilingampally Mandal, Rangareddy District, has been the subject of a long-standing dispute. A private firm, Ittina Properties, had been claiming ownership of the land. In 2016, the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC) issued notices directing the company to vacate the property.
Challenging these notices, Ittina Properties approached the High Court. After hearing the matter, Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka delivered a judgment that brought an end to the decade-long dispute.
During the proceedings, revenue authorities submitted evidence showing that there was no record to establish that the land had been allotted by the government in 1963 under the ex-servicemen quota, as claimed by the petitioner. They further informed the court that the pattadar documents submitted by the petitioner were forged.
Revenue officials pointed out that the Rajendranagar Tahsildar Office was established only in 1978, making it impossible for pattadar documents purportedly issued by that office in 1972 and 1973 to be genuine. They also noted that under the Record of Rights (ROR) Act, proceedings must be issued by the Tahsildar. However, in this case, the documents were issued in the name of the Recording Officer, UDIR, Serilingampally Mandal, without any clarity regarding the legal provisions under which they were issued.
The authorities further stated that the proceedings bore the name of an officer, P. Narasimha Rao, but no records existed to show that any officer by that name had served in the concerned office. Based on the evidence presented, the court concluded that forged documents had been used in an attempt to claim government land and directed the authorities to protect the property.
Following a request from the Revenue Department, HYDRAA fenced the entire 15-acre parcel and installed boards identifying it as government land, thereby safeguarding the property from encroachment.
