SC Stays Telangana HC Order on 74-Acre Kukatpally Land

The Supreme Court has stayed an order by the Telangana High Court concerning a 74-acre land parcel in Kukatpally. This move puts a temporary hold on the High Court's directive, bringing a fresh twist to the ongoing legal battle over the valuable land.

The dispute revolves around the ownership and usage rights of the land, which has been under contention for several years. Various parties claim ownership, leading to complex legal proceedings. The Telangana High Court had recently issued an order that favoured one of the claimants, but this decision is now paused following the Supreme Court's intervention.

The Supreme Court's stay order was issued in response to a petition challenging the High Court's ruling. The petitioners argued that the High Court's decision was flawed and needed to be reviewed to ensure justice. The apex court agreed to examine the merits of the case and issued the stay to maintain status quo until a final decision is reached.

This development is significant for the stakeholders involved, including the state government, private entities, and local residents, all of whom have vested interests in the outcome. The land in question is situated in a prime location, making it highly valuable for both residential and commercial purposes.

Legal experts suggest that the Supreme Court's involvement will bring a more comprehensive evaluation of the case, potentially setting a precedent for similar land disputes. The stay order provides temporary relief to the petitioners, who now await the Supreme Court's final judgement on the matter.

No glass boxes!

India is moving away from the ‘glass box’ syndrome, all-glass façades that were widely used in commercial buildings in the last two decades but came at a significant environmental cost given the country’s predominantly hot and humid climate. Poor thermal performance, excessive heat gain and dependency on mechanical cooling systems made buildings with glass façades energy guzzlers and significantly increased their carbon footprint.That said, it’s important to be aware that “glass is not the enemy,” points out Heena Bhargava, Architect, Architecture Discipline. “How it ..
