HC hits pause at Bahadurguda
Court’s July order still restrains HYDRAA from coercive action on farmers’ Bahadurguda plots. The August 11 hearing outcome isn’t on the record yet — the BJP-led Centre’s bullet-train map can wait for due process.
At Bahadurguda, the court’s interim restraint remains in force pending a recorded order.
The Telangana High Court has an interim brake on HYDRAA and revenue officials at Bahadurguda, Shamshabad: no coercive action or demolition on petitioners’ land in Survey Nos. 3 and 5 “until further orders,” while the State is free to protect government land if it proves it. That direction, recorded in late July, was posted next for August 11. What happened at that hearing is not in a published order yet.
According to a report on the July proceeding, the Advocate General said the State’s action was on government land in Survey Nos. 28 and 62, and the farmers’ claim over 3 and 5 needs verification against current revenue records. Another report described the court’s line as status quo on the disputed land and structures, with action only through due process. The petitions cover about 26 acres at Bahadurguda and sit inside a larger bullet-train acquisition footprint touted by the BJP-led Centre.
The official cause-list shows W.P. No. 23592 of 2026 (Jakkidi Yadi Reddy v. State of Telangana) and a connected W.P. No. 24412 of 2026 (Mustang Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd. and others) listed “for admission” out of Ranga Reddy. A courtroom quip or a viral paraphrase isn’t an order; until the court records it, the July restraint is the operative line. For all the Centre’s grand rail graphics, the map does not outrank the memo from the Bench.
