Telangana High Court Fines HYDRAA ₹1 Lakh for Fencing Private Land, Orders Immediate Removal

The Telangana High Court imposed a ₹1 lakh fine on the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Protection Agency (HYDRAA) for arbitrarily erecting a fence on two private plots in Mallapur despite existing civil court decrees confirming ownership by petitioners.

The Court termed the action “high-handed” and directed the fence’s immediate removal, warning that HYDRAA would have to pay ₹1 lakh per day in additional penalties until compliance.

The fine is to be paid as damages to the petitioners, and the matter is now listed for compliance reporting.
