HC Pulls Up Telangana On GO 123 Land Acquisition

The High Court issued a notice to the Telangana government questioning it on the status of the protection and relief the latter was providing to the oustees of Mallanna Sagar and other reservoir projects in the State.

Taking up a hearing on the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed against the land acquired from farmers through the GO MS No 123, the HC asked the State government to reveal the steps that had been taken up since September to provide relief to poor farmers and daily wage labourers.

Responding on it, the Telangana Advocate-General Ramakrishna Reddy told the Court that it would submit a detailed report at the earliest.

Then the Court directed him to submit the explanation through an affidavit, and adjourned the case to next Wednesday.
