Justice T. Vinod Kumar of Telangana High Court will hear a writ plea challenging the action of the Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) in acquiring patta land in Yelgoi, Bardipur, and Chilepally villages, in Jharasangam mandal of Sangareddy district, under the guise of public purpose. The judge was dealing with a writ plea filed by M.
Narayana Raju along with 163 others, alleging that the authorities took control of their land without adhering to the procedure under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR Act), or its Telangana Amendment in 2017. The petitioners said that the authorities had disbursed arbitrary compensatory amounts. The petitioners demanded compensation of `15 lakh per acre, aligning with the rates provided to neighbouring landowners.
The government pleader argued that the petitioners had accepted compensation under GO dated July 30, 2015. The judge directed the pleader to produce a detailed statement of each agreement and posted the matter after one week..
