On Wednesday, A High Court bench headed by Chief Justice Raghavendra Singh Chauhan and Justice Bollam Vijaysen Reddy heard the petition filed by Shinde Devidas of Nirmal district. They alleged that the government order No. 112 / 12-10-2020 issued by the state government in relation to the regulation of unregistered sales transactions under the Telangana Rights Land and Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971 is illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. Further, the petitioner demanded that the actionissued by the State's Tahsildars be declared null if any, by regularizing the unregistered sales transactions in accordance with GO MS No.112 / 12-10-2020.
Under the GO MS of 12-10-2020, the government is happy to extend the time to 10-11-2020 after 29-10-2020, Advocate General Banda Shivananda Prasad told the court. The total number of applications was taken to 9,00,494 and 6,74,201 applications were received. Chief Justice R S Chauhan asked the state government to know how the state government deals with 6,74,201 applications when there is no law by 29-10-2020. Since the state government has extended the time and received 6,74,201 applications, it will swallow up the law. CJ found that the government could deal with 2,26,293 lakh applications as there was then law, but 6,74,201 applications received when there was no law.
On this subject, CJ said, "It does not only open the Pandora box, but it opens the Pandora Valley instead. You cannot be allowed to process 6,74,201 applications received after 29-10-2020. This court has been insisting that it is not a government policy, but the policy should comply with the law. Advocate General Banda Shivananda Prasad sought two weeks' time to file a counter in support of the government's action, for which the court posted the matter two weeks later.
