HYDERABAD: Disapproving of the way the united Andhra Pradesh government took away 11 acres of land and a house from a toddy tapper in Rangareddy district (now in Telangana) 58 years ago in the name of recovering a paltry Rs 3,500 dues from him, the Telangana high court has directed the state to return all that to the kin of the late K Rama Goud immediately.
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice K Lakshman recently pronounced this order after hearing a writ appeal filed by Goud's sons K Anjaiah and K Narahari of Burugupally village in Mominpet mandal.
