The Story in Brief
The Telangana high court on Tuesday asked the state government to respond to a PIL alleging illegal conversion of 3.34 acres of Bhoodan land at Gajwel in Siddipet district into non-agricultural land for a residential layout. A division bench of Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice BM Mohiuddin also sought a reply from businessman B Malla Reddy.
Petitioner Jangam Ramesh Goud said Malla Reddy tried to usurp part of the 11.24 acres of Bhoodan land, violating the Bhoodan Act. The bench issued notices and adjourned the matter for three weeks.
The Indian Opinion
This case highlights how Bhoodan land meant for the landless often gets tangled in legal disputes. Both sides need a fair hearing, but the court must ensure a thorough survey and inquiry to expose any illegal conversion. The real test will be whether the state acts swiftly to protect this land from encroachment or lets the matter languish in paperwork.
