HC rejects AAI's claim over land after allotment to 3 political parties

The land, originally granted to AAI for constructing residential quarters for its officials, was reallocated to the Samajwadi Party, Janata Dal (United), and Mizo Peace Foundation after the Union Government canceled AAI's allotment in 2002.

A division bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Rajneesh Kumar Gupta observed that the land had already been reallocated and developed by the political parties, making it impractical to reverse the process.

Men, women, and children were trampled in temples, rallies, and film events. The founder of the Srikakulam Venkateswara Temple, after nine devotees were killed in a Diwali crowd surge, dismissed the deaths as “God’s will.” It was not. It was ours.
