Land law and judicial disputes in Telangana

Overview

In Telangana, legal and political disputes continue regarding land registration laws and resettlement rights. The BJP has intensified calls for a judicial inquiry into Section 22A of the Registration Act, alleging that thousands of hectares of private and agricultural land have been placed on the Bhu-Bharathi portal’s prohibited list.

In response, the Telangana government has initiated a fast-track process to facilitate the registration of open plots, houses, and flats. Following a commitment by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced that orders have been issued for properties with legal approvals from authorities such as the GHMC, HMDA, or DTCP, provided applicants supply at least one link document. To manage complications, district-level committees comprising Collectors, Registrars, and local body representatives will be established.

Expanding these efforts, the government has initiated a review of decades-old pending applications for Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) regularisation. Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy stated that Memo No. 48062 was issued to review applications made under previous Government Orders (GOs) 455, 456, 747, and 92, noting that a 2016 order for ULC regularisation was not implemented by the previous administration. This measure aims to resolve pending files in areas like Rangareddy and Medchal-Malkajgiri.

To accelerate relief for landowners affected by Section 22A, the government has issued a directive to district collectors to resolve pending applications under GO 59 within one month. This specific order concerns the regularisation of government land parcels measuring up to 500 square yards. Officials must conduct thorough verifications of eligibility and land extent, including cases where conveyance deeds have already been issued, while matters currently before the courts will be handled according to judicial orders.
