HYDERABAD: The Telangana government on Tuesday informed the High Court that the police inquiry into the encroachments of Osmania University land, portions of which had allegedly been sold to private individuals by the Tulsi Cooperative Housing Society, was completed and soon the police would file a charge sheet before the concerned forum.
Advocate-General B.S. Prasad, on behalf of the state government, explained the status of the probe into the alleged land encroachment of around 3,500 sq yards to the court on Tuesday.
While dealing with a PIL filed by Poladi Ramana, a research scholar at the university, who complained to the court that the authorities ignored his representations to protect the university land, a bench headed by the then Chief Justice, on 14 June 2022, had directed the state government to submit the status report of the police probe. The court also had imposed a ban on construction activities and transactions on the said land.
The advocate general also informed the court that the statements of witnesses were also recorded before the magistrate. However, the bench directed the Advocate-General to file a report in this regard, instead of oral submissions and adjourned the case to August 2.
