A day after the High Court slapped notices on Rangareddy and Nizamabad district collectors over special revenue Tribunals, thousands of farmers and landowners are now on the horns of a dilemma whether they would get a chance to present their arguments before the special tribunals or do they have to approach civil courts to resolve land disputes.
Even as the fate of 17 lakh acres of land that are in dispute hangs in balance, the high courts recent order that the tribunals cannot dispose of 16,000 revenue cases without first conducting hearings has put the State Government in a spot of bother. The government set up the revenue tribunals for quick disposal of land disputes.
