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.
The Telangana High Court temporarily suspended further acquisition proceedings affecting a few properties along the proposed Rajiv Rahadari Elevated Corridor Project.
Justice K. Sarath issued the interim order while hearing a batch of petitions from affected property owners.
The petitions challenged Form-VII notifications published in the Hyderabad District Gazette on June 19, 2026.
The petitioners also challenged notifications issued under Rule 25 and Section 19(1) of the 2013 Land Acquisition Act.
The court extended similar temporary protection previously granted in a connected matter in December 2025.
