Hyderabad: A PIL has been moved before the Hyderabad High Court questioning the Telangana state government for allotting 6,500 square yards of land at Bandlaguda in the to the Owaisi Hospital and Research Centre.
In her PIL, Ms Shaik Aneesha, an employee in the city residing at Nadeem Colony at Tolichowki, said that the government had allotted the land to the Owaisi Hospital for Rs 3.75 crore which it was worth about Rs 40 crore. This was causing a huge revenue loss to the exchequer. Ms Aneesha referred a report carried in these columns on August 4, which stated that the MIM leaders had been given valuable land in the city at a subsidy rate for a hospital.
While annexing a copy of the Deccan Chronicle report, the petitioner submitted that the state government was allotting the land for Rs 3.75 crore with a view to getting the support of MIM leaders Asaduddin and Akbaruddin Owaisi and their party in the upcoming elections. She contended that the government and its agencies could not alienate, lease or allot public property in favour of select individuals or companies at its will. She urged the court to stay the allotment and declare it as illegal.
