Telangana High Court had directed Siddipet district Collector and Gajwel mandal Tahasildar to appear before it, expressing displeasure over the response of the officials to a citizen’s request in a land matter.
Justice M. Sudheer Kumar of the HC instructed both the officials to attend the court on August 22 to explain their stand in a writ petition filed by a farmer D. Indrasena Reddy of Muthrajpally village in Gajwel mandal. Three years ago, the government issued a preliminary notification to acquire three acres and twenty nine guntas of land in Gajwel for constructing distributory canals for Konda Pochama Sagar reservoir.
Indrasena Reddy’s name was listed at no. 29 for acquiring 25 guntas out of the three acres and seven guntas of his patta land under survey no. 210. For some inexplicable reasons, the land acquisition did not materialise.
