Malkajgiri’s ‘Waqf mix‑up’: correction pending
Residents say years of blocked registrations over a village-name mismatch. A new report says the Waqf Board has moved to fix the gazette — but the fix isn’t published yet.
The proposed correction has moved, but the registration remains pending.
Malkajgiri homeowners have spent years watching registrations, mutations and even bank loans stall because their plots show up as Waqf land in the prohibited-property register. That much is on the record. A Telangana High Court matter from January 10, 2025, reproduces the Sub-Registrar’s refusal to register a deed over survey numbers in Malkajgiri, citing the Waqf list and the office’s “Prohibited watch Register.”
A new report now says the Telangana State Waqf Board, in a July 29, 2026 communication, identified a village-tag mismatch — survey numbers that belong to Mallapur recorded as Malkajgiri — and has forwarded the case for gazette correction. The same report names survey numbers 3, 103, 104, 105, 145, 146, 147 and 148–154 as Mallapur, and says inconsistencies across old Waqf notifications need reconciling. The underlying Board letter is not publicly available; treat those specifics as reported, not verified.
Local coverage shows Malkajgiri MLA Marri Rajashekhar Reddy has been pushing this for months — on the Assembly floor and in a meeting with Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu, who said he would examine the issue and looped in the Waqf Board CEO. One account put the affected group at about 18,000 homeowners across 76 colonies; the newer report says nearly 10,000 owners. The state has not published a colony-wise list to settle that range.
What matters for buyers and banks is simple: until a correction is actually notified and the Registration Department amends its 22‑A entries, paperwork stays stuck. The report says the file is headed for correction. The gazette that frees people to register is the one that counts.
