Telangana High Court Upholds State Decision To Allot 5 Acres Of Land To Director N Shankar For Studio In Rangareddy District

Live Law  

The Telangana High Court has upheld the allotment of land by State to Film Director N. Shankar for setting up of a technical film studio at a nominal consideration, saying it was just and proper and warrants no interference. The division bench of Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N. Tukaramji pronounced its decision on Friday on a plea challenging a 2019 order of Municipal Administration Urban Development Department, wherein 5 acres of government land at Mokilla Village, Shankarpalli, Ranga Reddy District were allotted to Shankar, a renowned Film Director in south India, for the setting-up a technical film studio, without any auction and for a nominal consideration for Rs 5 lakhs per acres. Senior Advocate Satyam Reddy, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, had earlier contended that his main grievance was the consideration of five lakhs per acre, for which the allotment was made. It is not open to the State to grant precious assets of the State, such as its land, to private individuals without making similar offers to others, the petitioner's counsel contended.
