400 acres in Kancha Gachibowli doesn’t belong to UoH: Telangana Govt
The Hindu
Telangana government says the 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli does not belong to University of Hyderabad. It says UoH students were misled by those with interests in real estate
The Telangana government said that it was the sole owner of 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli Village, Serlingampally Mandal, on whose ownership a group of students from the University of Hyderabad are agitating.
Officials said the 400 acres of land were allotted to a private entity by the then government of Andhra Pradesh in 2004. But the present Congress government has fought against the private entity in the Supreme Court and reclaimed the land.
The University of Hyderabad does not own even an inch of land in this survey and any contention regarding land ownership is contempt of court, as per official statement. Moreover, as is being alleged, the development plans of the government in this land do not include any lake. The rocks formation would not be disturbed by the new development plan either, it added.
The government, in a statement here, said that the opposition to the project was purely political and that the students were being misled by those opposing the government with interests in real estate.
Explaining the legal aspects, it was stated in the statement said that the then AP Government allotted 400 acres to IMG Academies Bharata Pvt Ltd on January 13, 2004, in Survey Number 25 of Kancha Gachibowli Village for the development of sports facilities.
As the project of the IMG Academies Bharata Pvt Ltd did not take off, the then Government of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) revoked the allotment on November 21, 2006, which was challenged in the A.P. High Court. The new government pursued the matter vigorously, and the High Court passed orders in favour of the government on March 7, 2024.
Aggrieved by the order, IMG Academies Bharata Pvt Ltd filed an SLP before the Supreme Court of India. The government again contested the matter, and the SLP was dismissed by the Supreme Court of India on May 3, 2024. Thus, the government was able to secure the land.
