A huge blank government file marked “GO?” stands beside an empty three-seat committee desk and a 30-day calendar outside a Telangana records office, while people wait near a closed document counter.

The proposed panel has 30 days to examine Section 22-A cases; the government order and terms of reference remain unpublished.

Telangana Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy announced in the Assembly that a three-member committee would examine Section 22-A property cases and complete its work within 30 days, according to a September 19 report. The reported panel is headed by CCLA Commissioner Lokesh Kumar, with Law Secretary B. Papi Reddy and Special Secretary for Registration and Stamps Raeevgandhi Hanumanthu as members.

The committee is expected to examine representations involving properties on the prohibited list and recommend action. Ponguleti also reportedly said the government would issue a special government order for properties with GHMC, HMDA or other competent-authority approvals that could not be registered after being placed on the list. The order has not been publicly located.

The government’s reported figures say land under Section 22-A fell from 1,02,52,690 acres in December 2023 to 1,02,05,250 acres by August 31, 2026. That does not establish how many private properties were wrongly included. K. T. Rama Rao has sought a judicial inquiry and alleged irregularities, including demands for commissions; those claims remain allegations, not findings.

The Bhu Bharati portal provides a grievance route, but not a public district-wise register of pending cases, removals or decisions. The committee has 30 days, while the public is still waiting for the first document.
