Auction of Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) plots stayed
Hyderabad, July 24: The Andhra Pradesh High Court has stayed the auction of plots near Hitech City by Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda). Justice P.S. Narayana stalled the auction of plots in Izzathnagar and Serilingampally on writ petitions filed by N. Rami Reddy and others challenging the Huda’s decision.
The petitioners contended that the Huda was proceeding with the auction without even having valid title deeds. They added that despite their having purchased the lands, Huda tried to acquire them by issuing notices to the original owners who had already sold them.
Our correspondent adds that Huda chairman D. Sudheer Reddy clarified that the Izzathnagar plots do not belong to Huda at all. “The lands belong to the revenue department. It was the State government which had asked us to auction the plots of Izzathnagar. We are just acting as the facilitators,” Mr Reddy said.The Huda chief said that the government directed them to transfer all the money which will come from the auction of Kokapet lands.
