The controversy centres on a 550‑acre tract in Miyapur, Telangana. The land has been the subject of litigation for more than two decades, with private individuals challenging the state government’s claim.
In 2003, the High Court of Telangana ruled in favour of the state’s ownership of the land. The private parties appealed that decision, taking the case through the lower courts and ultimately to the Supreme Court.
During the litigation, the Chief Minister of Telangana obtained a special relief that reinforced the government’s position on the parcel.

On Oct. 29, 2026, the Supreme Court dismissed the private parties’ claims, upheld the 2003 High Court judgment, and affirmed that the 550‑acre parcel belongs to the Telangana government. The court’s order left no scope for a compromise or alternative resolution.
With the Supreme Court’s ruling, the dispute is concluded. The 550 acres remain under the control of the Telangana government, ending a 23‑year legal battle.
