Telangana HC Orders GHMC, Endowments Dept to Clear Encroachments at Hyderabad Goshala

The directive follows an SPCA petition over Nizam-era land meant for animal welfare at a site now partly taken by a private hotel.

Overview

  • The High Court directed removal of all unauthorised occupants from the SPCA-run goshala premises near the Muslim Jung bridge in Hyderabad.
  • The court set a two-week timeline for action in accordance with due process and permitted police assistance to execute the order.
  • Judicial remarks noted private encroachments, including a hotel, and past use of a portion for a GHMC road on land earmarked for animal care.
  • The SPCA told the court the parcel measured about 4,000 square yards historically and had shrunk to roughly 2,096 square yards over time.
  • The bench asked authorities to protect the property from further interference and to file a compliance report after clearing encroachments.
