BJP leader Gudur demands White Paper on govt. land under litigation

Senior BJP leader Gudur Narayana Reddy has called for a comprehensive White Paper from the State government detailing all government and public land under litigation across Telangana. The leader wants the document to include district-wise information on disputed properties, such as survey numbers, land extent, the year litigation began, the court or tribunal handling the case, the current stage of proceedings, and any interim orders.

Reddy referenced the recent Supreme Court judgment in the Miyapur land dispute, urging the government to disclose the extent, estimated market value, legal status, and duration of pending cases involving valuable public properties. According to a recent review by the Hyderabad District Collector, around 238 court cases involve approximately 12 lakh square yards of government land in the district, which is more than half of the total government land bank of 21.74 lakh square yards.

Shaikpet mandal has the highest number of disputes, accounting for nearly 50%. Additionally, Reddy pointed out that nearly 7,000 cases concerning Revenue department matters and Section 22-A prohibited property lists are pending, primarily before the High Court, while the Waqf Board faces about 5,500 disputes across various judicial forums.
