Case Overview

  • Petitioners: Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TGIIC); Respondents: Shahana Hyder & Ors.
  • Special Leave Petition (Civil) Diary No. 45529/2026 challenges an interim order dated 08-07-2026 passed by the High Court for the State of Telangana in IA No.1/2026, Writ Appeal No.420/2016.
  • The High Court interim order appointed the Assistant Director, Survey Settlement and Land Records of Ranga Reddy District to demarcate land measuring 46‑20 Gts (Ac.46‑20 Gts) in Survey No.83/2, Raidurg (Panmaktha) village, allowed a digital drone survey, required the survey report by 29.07.2026, and listed the matter for 05.08.2026.
  • Petitioners argued they were not made a party nor heard when the survey order was made; they also denied any proposal to auction the subject lands.
  • Respondents contended that the State was the appellant and that the petitioner need not be heard.

  • If the survey has not been conducted, the status‑quo shall be maintained pending disposal of the petitioner’s application.
  • The protection of the status‑quo extends to the petitioner for one week, not later than 14‑08‑2026, by which date the petitioner must move the necessary application.
  • The petitioner's claim that the land would be auctioned was recorded and denied.
