Overview

• Justice K. Sujana took up the criminal revision on Monday and listed it for detailed arguments on Tuesday after the petitioner’s senior counsel was unavailable.
• The petition asks the court to direct Maheshwaram Police to register an FIR against senior IAS officer Naveen Mittal over alleged illegal alienation of Bhoodan land in Nagaram, Rangareddy district.
• Petitioner Dastagir Sharif alleges tampering of land records to transfer parcels in Survey Nos. 181, 182, 194 and 195, with registrations and pattadar passbooks issued despite prohibitions.
• Police did not register an FIR on the initial complaint, and a private complaint dismissed by the Maheshwaram court on January 17, 2024 is now being challenged through this revision.
• The High Court had earlier restrained construction on the disputed land, and the controversy includes claims of illegal passbooks and sales involving private parties and other revenue officials.
