Andhra Pradesh High Court has annulled the proceedings and notices served by the AP Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA), cancelling the plots allotted to the farmers, who parted with their agricultural lands. The High Court observed that the APCRDA’s decision to cancel the plots given to the farmers was against the principles of natural justice.
The farmers, Kondepati Aruna, and others challenged the CRDA’s decision to cancel the plots allotted to them previously and allot the plots at some other place. A single judge gave interim orders directing the CRDA to hold the decision until the judgment was pronounced.
Subsequently, the State government challenged the interim orders. Hearing the petitions, the High Court, on Tuesday, ruled in favour of the capital region farmers, declaring the cancellation notices issued by the Commissioner and Deputy Tahsildar invalid.
