HC junks challenge to Kothagudem land transfer
A two-judge bench of the Telangana High Court refused to interfere with an order of land transfer regulation (LTR) pertaining to a land at Nagupalli village in Bhadradri-Kothagudem district. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Alok Aradhe and Justice J. Anil Kumar, was dealing with a writ appeal filed by M. Suryanarayana and another. Earlier, a single judge had refused to pass any order in favour of the appellant by observing that the petitioner had approached the court after more than 13 years and had failed to explain the delay. “Though there is no prescribed period of limitation for filing the writ petition under Article 226 of Constitution of India, the parties have to approach the court within the reasonable period of limitation,” the judge said. The present appeal was filed following this.
In appeal it was inter alia contended that the order of LTR was passed without any notice to the petitioners. Kothagudem district collector and others contended that the said order was passed way back when the father of the petitioners was alive and that the same had been challenged by the father of the plaintiff, which was dismissed by the court. Upholding the order of the single judge, the bench granted liberty to the appellants to avail a statutory remedy under the TS Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulations 1959. The bench made it clear that if any application is filed by the appellant before the appropriate authority the same shall be decided within eight weeks.
