Telangana High Court Orders FIR Against IAS Officer in Alleged Bhoodan Land Scam

The Telangana High Court has directed registration of an FIR in connection with the alleged illegal alienation of Bhoodan land in Nagaram village, Maheshwaram mandal.

Allowing a criminal revision petition, the Court set aside a magistrate’s order which had declined to proceed with the complaint and remanded the matter for reconsideration.

It permitted registration of an FIR against a senior IAS officer, revenue officials, and representatives of a private construction firm accused of unlawfully transferring Bhoodan land.

The Court also noted that the Enforcement Directorate is already probing the alleged scam linked to the same survey number and has attached properties treated as proceeds of crime.
