Telangana high court

HYDERABAD: Telangana Congress spokesperson Medipalli Satyam has filed a petition in Telangana high court questioning the decision to allot land to ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) at throwaway prices for constructing party offices in 24 districts of Telangana.

The petitioner found fault with the state for contending that they fixed a uniform price of Rs 100 per acre on the ground that the earlier policy of leasing land to political parties for raising their office for lease amounts that were never uniform. The idea of a uniform lease amount should never arise because the prices of land in various places of Telangana have never been uniform, he said.

Citing this as a reason for arriving at Rs 100 per square yard as price for land and that too allotting all that to TRS alone in 24 districts as unlawful, the petitioner sought the intervention of the court. He urged the court to set aside the state’s decision in this regard. He also appealed to the court to suspend the decision till it hears and resolves this plea.
