Telangana Govt constitutes high-level committee to resolve controversy over Section 22A lands
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy traces origin of Section 22A, gives a detailed explanation on lands under part-B and the error which partly led to inclusion of lands in prohibited list during marathon speech in Assembly
The Telangana Government has established a high-level committee to address the ongoing controversy surrounding the inclusion of numerous private lands in Section 22A of the Registration Act. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy revealed that the committee, consisting of top officials like the Law Secretary, Chief Commissioner of Land Administration, Commissioner of Registration and Stamps, and other senior officials, will have 30 days to investigate the matter and deliver recommendations.
Reddy explained that the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) government had expanded the list of prohibited lands from 21.93 lakh acres to approximately 17 lakh acres. The current administration has been working to identify genuine landowners and those involved in encroachments, as the High Court emphasized the backlog of Part-B lands.
The committee aims to prevent genuine landowners from being adversely affected due to clerical errors and technical issues present in the land record updation program launched by the previous government.
