Musi project gets a pause, not a stay
The Telangana High Court’s interim protection covers four petitioners and specified land in Ranga Reddy district. The government must file its counters within two weeks; the project has not been stayed.
The interim protection applies to specified land belonging to four petitioners; the Musi project has not been stayed.
The Telangana High Court has directed authorities not to dispossess four petitioners from specified land acquired for the Musi Riverfront Development Project until the next hearing. The direction, reported after a September 2 hearing before Justice K. Sarath, applies to 9 acres, 8¾ guntas in Survey Nos. 27, 28, 31 and 32 at Dargah Khaleej Khan village in Gandipet mandal, Ranga Reddy district.
The petitioners are I. Prabhakar Reddy, Atibhumi Holdings Private Limited, Sahasra Infra Private Limited and S.C. Mohan Reddy. They have challenged a series of acquisition proceedings, including G.O.Rt. No. 921 dated December 16, 2025, and argued that the process was illegal and violated their constitutional rights. Those are the petitioners’ claims, not findings by the court.
The State government, Ranga Reddy Collector, revenue authorities and Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Limited were directed to file counter-affidavits within two weeks. No substantive government response is publicly recorded in the material reviewed. The next hearing date and the case number are also not publicly confirmed there. For now, this is protection for four petitioners—not a project-wide stay. The government has been given time to answer; it has not yet publicly done so.
