Telangana High Court today said that the state government can sell its lands for development programs.
The court heard a petition filed by BJP leader Vijaya Shanthi against the selling of the lands. The state government issued a notification last September to sell the lands at Kokapet, Khanamet, and others under HMDA area in the city. On this, the BJP leader objected and filed a case to direct the government to sell its lands.
Hearing the case the high court said that the government has the right to sell its lands in a transparent manner. Tenders and e-auction can be followed to sell the lands and the government can go ahead, the court opined.
