SC ruling

In a 2022 judgment, the Supreme Court ruled that the land belongs to the state government and the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC).

Jana Chaitanya Housing Private Ltd argued that its plots had been approved under the Layout Regularization Scheme (LRS) and subsequently approached the registration department to execute sale deeds.

However, the sub-registrar of Serilingampally declined their request, citing that the land parcels were listed as prohibited properties.

Challenging this entry in the prohibited properties list, the firm moved to the High Court.

However, Justice Shravan Kumar rejected their plea, reiterating that courts cannot entertain claims without substantive evidence supporting title ownership.
