Heirs of the seventh Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, are challenging the Telangana government’s acquisition of 2,725 acres and 23 guntas of land in Gachibowli. The descendants have filed an Implead petition in the Supreme Court, asserting their rights to the land, and issuing legal notices to the state government.
The controversy began when the Telangana government purportedly took control of the land in the upscale neighborhood of Gachibowli. The Nizam heirs, led by Asaf Jahi, have objected to this action and taken legal recourse.
Asaf Jahi descendants claim that the 2,725-acre property rightfully belongs to them, as it was under the ownership of the seventh Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan. They argue that the government’s action is an infringement of their ownership rights.
This development has led to a legal tussle between the Nizam heirs and the Telangana government. The descendants have sent legal notices to the government and filed a petition in the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case in the coming weeks. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the ownership of land in the region, especially in cases where the government has previously acquired land.
There is no immediate comment from the Telangana government on the legal notices served by the Nizam heirs. The state government has yet to formally respond to the petition filed in the Supreme Court.
The Nizam heirs’ action against the government’s acquisition of the land in Gachibowli is likely to draw close attention from legal experts, historians, and the public. This case could potentially set a precedent for similar land ownership disputes in the future.
