The Supreme Court refused to grant status quo on 57.09 acres of disputed land in Survey No. 59, Kondapur, Hyderabad. The court clarified that even if construction has already begun, it would not restrain such activities at this stage, but any construction remains subject to the final outcome of the pending petition.

The dispute originates from claims by Kasani Gnaneshwar and others seeking mutation of the land into their names, arguing it had been assigned to their forefathers under the Lavani Rules, 1950. On April 26, 2002, a trial court ruled in their favour. The state government challenged this before the High Court; on September 3, 2025, the High Court set aside the 2002 judgment. The petitioners then moved the Supreme Court.

In a related matter, petitioner Neerukonda Baburajendra Prasad sought a status quo order to prevent encroachment on the open land. State counsel Devina Sehgal informed the bench that in the main matter, the Supreme Court had not yet issued notices and that numerous caveats had been filed. The bench tagged the present petition with the main batch of cases and adjourned proceedings to March.

HYDRAA cleared encroachments from five acres of land in Survey Nos. 78 to 93, Kondapur village, Serilingampally mandal, Rangareddy district. The land is part of Raja Rajeswari Nagar layout, developed in 1993 with 2,059 plots. The layout originally earmarked 5 acres for a Government Junior College and 2,181 square yards for a community hall. Government officials from the School Education Department, Cyberabad Municipal Commissioner G Srijana, and HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath inspected the reclaimed site on Sunday. A top-class government educational institution will be built on the land. Additionally, 1.5 acres recovered from encroachers will be developed into a public park. HYDRAA has reclaimed approximately 1,350 acres of government, lake, park, and open space lands valued at over ₹70,000 crore. Legal clearances will precede formal handover of the land for public utilisation. Community residents and welfare associations are participating in legal cases against alleged land grabbers.

Andhra Pradesh government filed counter in Telangana high court claiming ownership of 42.03-acre property in Kondapur valued at over Rs 4,000 crore. AP states land was allotted to Kurnool-based Bhagawan Sri Balasaibaba Central Trust in 2005 and remains under state's endowments department control. Legal dispute began in 2024 when private individuals filed over 20 petitions challenging transfer of 42.03 acres from Balasaibaba Trust to Bhupati Estates. High court directed both governments to file counters after Dec 16, 2025 hearing. Telangana yet to file counter despite court order and threat of Rs 5,000 per petition fine.

HYDRAA successfully reclaimed a 2,000 sq yd park site in Raghavendra Colony, Kondapur, Serilingampally mandal, Ranga Reddy district. The land had been earmarked in the approved layout for public park and community hall. Encroachers created fake bye numbers, divided the site into ten 200 sq yd plots, and erected temporary sheds. The Raghavendra Colony C-Block Welfare and Cultural Association lodged a complaint through HYDRAA Prajavani platform. HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath ordered joint field inspection with relevant departments. Officials confirmed land was officially designated for park and community hall. HYDRAA removed illegal structures, fenced the area, and installed signboards. Encroachers had obtained building permissions through fraudulent regularisation. Following a High Court order, GHMC revoked construction permissions and cancelled regularisation approvals. The reclaimed site is estimated to be worth Rs 30 crore in the open market.

HYDRAA conducted a demolition drive in Kondapur on October 4, 2025, with heavy police deployment. The 36-acre government land (part of 57 acres in survey number 59, listed as 'Gairan Sarkari') was occupied by unauthorised persons who built sheds for commercial ventures. A legal dispute arose when claimants alleged 36 acres were allotted to them in 1961 under the Family Planning programme (3 acres per head). The district court initially ruled in favour of the claimants, but on September 3, 2025, the High Court set aside this order in favour of the state government. Temporary structures built on the land were removed during the demolition drive.
