- DC CORRESPOND­ENT HYDERABAD, FEB. 16

Hyderabad, Feb. 16: Telangana High Court on Tuesday made it clear that any aggrieved person can approach civil courts for redressal of claims in disputed lands under Section 9 of Telangana Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 2020, provided he or she has substantia­l evidence.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Hima Kohli and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy was dealing with a petition challengin­g Section 9 of the act, which states that “No suit shall lie against the government or any of its officers who have made an entry in respect of any land, or amended or omitted from Record of

Rights”.

The petitioner approached the High Court complainin­g that her land was omitted from ROR unscrupulo­usly by revenue authoritie­s. However, due to Rule 9, she could not file a suit for redressal. Hence, the petitioner urged the High Court to strike off Section 9 of the Asct.

However, the court interprete­d Section 9 in a way that any aggrieved person can approach a civil court against anything errant, which causes damage to him/her. Errors of authoritie­s can be challenged.

Petitioner­s have every right to claim their land, though they are not permitted to file suit against authoritie­s in person.
