HC dismisses private land claims of park land
Justice B. Vijayasen Reddy of the Telangana High Court dismissed a writ claim over 1,860 sq. yards of park land as private land in Madhapur village. The judge was hearing a writ petition filed by Y. Jaihind Reddy and his brother Anthi Reddy questioning the orders of the special deputy collector, urban land ceiling, denoting the land “park area”.
The petitioners said that they along with their father had purchased four acres of agricultural land in 1990, which they plotted and sold to third parties. The land in question was declared as excess land by the ceiling authorities. When the government issued a notification in 2002 asking owners in possession of surplus land to seek regularization, the petitioner’s application was rejected. They said they had obtained electricity connection and had been paying property tax. The government said the application was rejected because “regularisation of park is not permissible”.
Justice Vijayasen Reddy said, “The petitioners cannot be heard to say that the park is not for public purpose or in public interest (benefit of the 21 plot purchasers and general public). Viewed from any angle the petitioners are not entitled for any relief.”
