Telangana High Court declined to stay government auction of lands in Raidurgam, Serilingampally mandal, Ranga Reddy district. Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar noted it would be inappropriate to stall the auction without absolute clarity on the dispute, particularly with no pending Land Reforms Tribunal (LRT) inquiry.

Writ petition filed by Ramadevi and others alleged state officials interfered with their physical possession of 11.12 acres in Survey Numbers 83/1 and 83/Part, Raidurgam. Petitioners claimed authorities used bulldozers to erase boundary markers and sought halt to e-auctions scheduled for August 21 and 28.

State government and Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC) opposed the plea. Senior Counsel S. Niranjan Reddy and AAG Tera Rajanikanth Reddy submitted Supreme Court previously clarified complex disputes regarding title and possession over 53-acre parcel in Survey Number 83 cannot be adjudicated through writ proceedings. They asserted lands being auctioned are government properties entirely free of disputes; determining whether petitioners' claimed 11 acres fall within disputed 53 acres or clear government land requires geographical survey and evidentiary proof. They urged petitioners to approach civil court.

Petitioners' Senior Counsel J. Ramachandra Rao argued apex court had not invalidated their sale deeds and following Supreme Court verdict on May 7 (previous year), matter reverted to LRT's jurisdiction for re-examination of title claims and land nature. He requested auction stay for at least one week, citing no bids received yet.

Bench questioned why petitioners had not filed rehearing application before LRT following Supreme Court judgment. Observing no evidence of pending proceedings, issued notices, or review processes initiated before tribunal, Judge refused to halt auction. Court directed respondent authorities to file detailed counter-affidavit regarding dispute and adjourned hearing to August 27.

Nallagandla Lake has a Full Tank Level (FTL) area of 89.69 acres, comprising 36.37 acres of government land and 53.32 acres of private land. HYDRAA is undertaking restoration at an estimated cost of Rs 28 crore. Private pattadars in Nallagandla village of Serilingampally mandal submitted signed consent letters to HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath supporting the project and urging timely compensation under the Transferable Development Rights (TDR) policy. Landowners noted the lake once served irrigation and drinking water needs but had deteriorated into a polluted water body amid rapid urbanisation. Proposed amenities include parks, children's play areas, walking tracks and fitness equipment, similar to other rejuvenated lakes in Hyderabad. Residents of Narsingi village in Gandipet mandal also met HYDRAA officials to praise safeguarding of nearby Mushkin Lake from encroachments; approximately 35.10 acres of Mushkin Lake's 52.20-acre total extent had come under encroachment before HYDRAA intervened.
