The Telangana High Court on Wednesday directed the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri District Collector to conduct survey of all lands belonging to government in the district within a month.
A Bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili issued the direction, after hearing a PIL petition seeking a direction to district authorities to protect government lands, which were allegedly being encroached upon by private parties. The Bench, while instructing the Collector to ensure no government land was illegally occupied by private persons, wanted a report on the matter in a month.
The Collector would have to appear before the HC if he failed to comply with the court direction and explain for failing to enforce the directions, the Bench said.
