SC dismisses pleas, declares rights over 142.39 acres Manchirevula land to Greyhounds

The Supreme Court on Tuesday, dismissing all civil appeals against Telangana High Court Division Bench’s order upholding allotment of 142.39 acres of land to Greyhounds in Manchirevula village on the outskirts of Hyderabad, declared that the land stands transferred to Greyhounds.

A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and J.K. Mahswari, pronouncing verdict in a batch of civil appeal pleas, said “there shall be a final quietus of title and possessory dispuote over the land in favour of the State or the agency to whom it has been allotted”. The apex court’s Bench made it clear that no civil court or High Court shall entertain any claim whatsoever on behalf of any assignee their legal representative or General Power of Attorney holder.

The courts shall not entertain any other persons to make direct or indirect claims under any agreement over the land. ‘The land in its entirety is declared to have vested in the State government’, the judgment said. In 1961, the then government of united Andhra Pradesh State gave pattas of 142.39 acres to the landless poor. It was under survey no. 393 in Manchirevula village of Rajendranagar mandal in Ranga Reddy district.
