The Telangana High Court on Friday quashed the order issued by Lokayukta of Telangana directing the Husnabad Revenue Divisional Officer of Karimnagar district to recover compensation wrongly paid to some land owners as part of land acquisition proceedings.
A Bench of Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar passed this direction, allowing a writ petition filed by four farmers challenging orders of the Lokayukta issued in September of 2021.
The Lokayukta instructed the RDO to recover the compensation received by the petitioners and deposit the same before the court.
