Smt.Sandhya, v. State of Telangana

Telangana HC13 Dec 2023WP/21660/2016

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The Telangana High Court allowed writ petitions seeking declaration that their lands in Survey Nos.562 and 588 were not ceiling surplus, as possession was not taken. The court held that under Section 4 of the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999, the proceedings abated.

What did the court decide?

The court directed the respondents to treat the petitioners' properties in Survey Nos.562 and 588 as private property and not to interfere with the petitioners' rights.

There is no notice issued to late Mr. M.N. Lakshmi Narsaiah under Section I0(5) olthe Act, It rclation to C.C.No.Gl1184311976. Late Mr. M.N. Lakshmi Narsaiah died on 10.01.1994 and notice issued to Mr. M.L Srirrirasa ltao describes him as son olMr. M.L. Lakshmi Narsaiah. It is contended that with a malafide intention notice \vas issued to Mr. Ivl.L. Srinivasa Rao showing the case number ol latc Mr. M.N. Lakshmi Narsaiah. Subsequently, panchanama is allcged to have becn conclucted on 14.03.2008, and the alleged pancltananra lc'por1 tlatcd I^-1.0--i.2008 is a fabricated one.
