Congress Team Inspects Alleged Assigned-Land Irregularities in Siddipet
A Congress group visited a village in Siddipet to inspect land records.
The land is called assigned land, which has special rules for transferring ownership.
The group looked at records for a plot in Survey No.
271.
Congress leaders said some land may have been transferred against those rules.
They connected part of the land to Hanumantha Rao, who is the father-in-law of BRS MLA T. Harish Rao.
They also questioned why an approval came from a revenue officer instead of the District Collector.
The leaders said a document used in the process could not currently be found.
These claims were made by Congress leaders, and the article does not include a response from the people named or the revenue officials.
Congress MPs and MLCs inspected 6 acres and 2 guntas of assigned land in Velikatta village, Siddipet district.
The delegation examined land records, Pahanis and Pattadar details and questioned Kondapaka Tahsildar Mallikarjun Reddy.
MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy alleged that restricted Lavani Patta land in Survey No. 271 was transferred and registered improperly.
He claimed land originally allotted to an ex-serviceman and a freedom fighter was later linked to Hanumantha Rao, father-in-law of BRS MLA T. Harish Rao.
Chamala alleged that an NOC should have come from the District Collector but was instead issued by the RDO, and that the document is now unavailable.
