Telangana High Court halts land levelling and tree cutting in Kancha Gachibowli amid protests till Thursday, pending further hearing.
Telangana High Court on Wednesday (April 2, 2025) directed the State government not to continue levelling of land and cut trees till tomorrow (April 3, 2025) in the 400 acres of land in Kancha Gachibowli, abutting University of Hyderabad, which was allotted to Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC).
A part of the land in the 400-acres was cleared in the past few days by pressing into service heavy machinery. The land is proposed to be auctioned by TGIIC, which is being opposed by different sections, including students of University of Hyderabad and other universities and different people’s associations.
A bench of Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul and Justice Renuka Yara heard two PIL petitions questioning allotment of the 400-acre to TGIIC and seeking a direction to stay excavations and felling of trees there. After hearing contentions of the counsels of the petitioners and Advocate General A. Sudarshan Reddy in the matter, the bench passed interim directions instructing the government to stop all works and cutting of trees at the place.
“No destruction, no cutting trees”, said Acting Chief Justice Sujoy Paul. The hearing will continue on Thursday.
