Telangana HC: State cannot reopen 1960 land assignment decades later without proving it was assigned land
The question: Could the RDO treat a Tahsildar's letter as an appeal 1,460 days after the Tahsildar's order, when Section 4-A allows 90 days?
The State appealed against a Single Judge's order quashing a 2020 resumption of about 13 acres in Nizampet village, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, under the Telangana Assignment (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. A Division Bench of the High Court dismissed three connected writ appeals, holding that the State acted far too late and could not show the land was assigned land with a bar on transfers.
