Hyderabad, Feb. 27 -- The Supreme Court has refused to grant status quo on 57.09 acres of disputed land in Survey No. 59 in Kondapur, Hyderabad.

The court clarified that even if construction activities have already begun on the land, it would not restrain them at this stage. However, it made it clear that any such construction would be subject to the final outcome of the pending petition.

Background of the dispute

The dispute dates back to claims made by Kasani Gnaneshwar and others, who approached a trial court seeking mutation of the land in their names. They argued that the land had been assigned to their forefathers under the 'Lavani Rules, 1950', and therefore should be reflected in the revenue records accordingly.
