The Telangana High Court has asked the state government to respond to a petition over the failure to upload the list of properties under Section 22-A of the Registration Act on the registration department's website. The court adjourned the matter to August 20. Petitioner Amera Pasha, an advocate, said the omission leaves buyers vulnerable to purchasing land that cannot be registered. His counsel Vijay Gopal told the court that the website says the list is under review. Justice NV Shravan Kumar observed details must be in the public domain even for nala conversion land. Separately, Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy admitted officials had wrongly included lakhs of acres of private land in the prohibited list, citing outdated records and incomplete uploads. He said a committee will review cases case-by-case. The BRS has demanded the minister's resignation, alleging the Congress government created confusion among property owners.
