The Supreme Court of India has confirmed the Telangana High Court’s ruling that struck down the free allotment of prime government land in Hyderabad to the International Arbitration and Mediation Centre (IAMC). The apex court dismissed petitions by IAMC challenging the earlier judgment. In its order, the Supreme Court said it was “not inclined to interfere” with the High Court’s decision.
The dispute began over a government order (GO) that gave 3.70 acres of land in Raidurg village to IAMC without charging the market value. Petitioners argued the allotment violated statutory land rules governing government land transfers. The Telangana High Court had quashed the free allotment, saying the government did not follow proper procedures and that IAMC was not eligible for such benefits at the time.
IAMC had also received financial support and a policy direction to handle large disputes, but the High Court did not cancel those parts. The Supreme Court’s latest ruling upholds the cancellation of the land transfer, reinforcing the need for legal compliance in allocating public land. This judgement ensures that government land must be allotted only after following statutory rules and paying appropriate value.
