Telangana High Court Suspends Corridor Land Acquisition Proceedings
Some landowners in Telangana said the government’s land-acquisition process could affect their properties.
Their properties are along a planned elevated road project.
They asked the Telangana High Court to pause the process.
The court heard their petitions.
Justice K. Sarath ordered a temporary suspension of further acquisition steps for those properties.
The challenged notices were published on June 19, 2026.
The landowners referred to similar protection given in another case in December 2025.
The pause gives the landowners temporary relief while the case continues.
