JT.COLLECTOR RANGA REDDY DIST.& ANR.ETC. vs D.NARSING RAO & ORS. ETC.ETC.

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of government orders reserving land for house sites in Gopanpally village, which were previously granted as Pattas under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Record of Rights in Land Regulation, 1358F. The Court held that the government must respect existing land rights and cannot arbitrarily include Pattadar lands in the reserved area without proper legal basis. The judgment emphasized the importance of adhering to statutory provisions, particularly Section 9 of the Andhra Pradesh Rights in Land to Pattadar Passbooks Act, 1971, and upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the government's notices regarding the land.
