HC Threatens Army Action Over HYDRAA Land Dispute
The Telangana High Court is very upset because some officials from HYDRAA keep going onto private land even though the court has said they shouldn't.
The court has given them many chances to stop, but they keep doing it.
The court even said it might ask the Army to take these officials into custody if they don't follow the rules.
The court thinks the state government is supporting these officials, which is not fair.
The court wants everyone to follow the law and respect its orders.
The officials say they haven't gone onto the land in the last two days, so the court is waiting to see what happens next.
The Telangana High Court threatens to call the Army to take custody of HYDRAA officials if they violate court orders regarding a land dispute.
HYDRAA officials, with state government support, allegedly continue to enter private property despite court prohibitions.
The court has given HYDRAA officials multiple chances to comply but has observed repeated violations.
The disputed land is 40 acres forming part of Survey No.s 1 & 2 in Lothkunta, Malkajgiri mandal, Medchal Malkajgiri.
The court has postponed its orders to Friday, awaiting an affidavit from the Advocate-General.
