Hyderabad: Justice P Naveen Rao of the Telangana High Court stayed proceedings issued by the newly constituted District Special Tribunal, Mahabubnagar, in a matter relating to alteration and revenue records.

Land lease

A two-judge panel, comprising Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B Vijaysen Reddy, in a PIL injuncted the Sai Sindhu Foundation from creating any third-party rights during the pendency of the PIL. The foundation was leased out 15 acres for construction of a hospital near Hitec City.

Petitioners Dr P Urmila and lawyer K Suresh Kumar preferred the present petition to declare the Government Order (GO) No. 50 of 2019 leasing out the land to the foundation as arbitrary and illegal. The panel stated that any construction would be subject to the outcome of the present appeal. The matter was posted to September 16.
