Telangana prohibited properties list available online; absence of effective search option compounds difficulties in accessing details

The Registration & Stamps Department in Telangana maintains an online list of prohibited properties, which includes both agricultural and non-agricultural lands under Section 22A of the Registration Act. However, the website's absence of a search option based on the landowner's name, khata number, or other relevant details is causing difficulties for distressed land owners.

A random search on the website shows that data on properties related to court cases and other categories is being displayed, but information on endowment and wakf lands in certain mandals is still not uploaded. The government, through the Toll Free Number complaints system, has received hundreds of calls in the past week from people seeking to register complaints against their properties being listed under Section 22A.

While the minister has stated that the government is committed to safeguarding the rights of genuine owners, resolving cases related to bhudan and other categories of lands may take some time due to the varying stages of adjudication by courts.
