Government Of Telangana vs Rao V.B.J.Chelikani

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of land allotments made under Government Orders (GoMs) No. 242, 243, and 244, which favored certain groups including MPs, MLAs, and judges, potentially violating Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the GoMs, ruling that the preferential allotment was arbitrary and unconstitutional, thus restoring the land to the Government. The Court mandated that future allotments must adhere to a transparent process ensuring eligibility criteria are met and publicly disclosed.
