New Indian ExpressVattinagulapally exempted from the purview of GO 69 The Telangana High Court on Friday allowed three writ petitions seeking a direction to exclude a part of Vattnagulapally from the purview of GO 111 and GO 69, stating that the area did not come under the catchment zone of Osmansagar and therefore it is outside the scope of the two GOs. The court said: “The facts of the present writ petitions reveal that Vattinagulapally Village has a unique geography and drainage pattern as compared to other villages under GO 111. The water on the western side of the ridge flows into Osmansagar lake, whereas the water on the eastern side of the ridge flows into an existing stormwater drain and thereafter into the Musi river downstream of Osmansagar Lake. The area in question as per the EPTRI report is not at all under the Catchment area, and allowed all the three writ petitions.” A bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili was dealing with three writ petitions filed by Agni Agritech Private Limited and three others, M Anuradha and four others, and K Suryanarayana and seven others, all of them have parcels of land in Vattinagulapally village seeking a direction that the proposed rules and regulatory measures under GO 69 are not made applicable to their lands.
