Telangana High Court Pauses Banjara Hills Land Notices, Retains Fishermen Cooperative Chiefs

The court flagged apparent lapses in mandatory publication under the land acquisition law, with officials ordered to respond on November 24.

Overview

  • Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar granted a two-week interim stay limited to 21 petitioners against GHMC Section 15(1) notices on Road No. 12, Banjara Hills.
  • The bench recorded a prima facie view that Section 11 publication and service were deficient, curtailing landowners’ chance to file objections.
  • Notices were issued to the Hyderabad district collector, GHMC commissioner, special collector and Jubilee Hills deputy commissioner to file replies by November 24.
  • The contested project seeks a 100‑foot link from Virinchi Hospital to Agrasen Junction and a 120‑foot corridor toward Jubilee Hills Checkpost via KBR Park.
  • In a separate order, Justice T. Madhavi Devi directed the State to continue ten petitioners as Chief Promoters of district fishermen cooperatives until elections, with that case posted to December 16 after nine districts reported no polls.
