I own land in Gopanpally, Telangana (Survey Nos. 139 & 140, approximately 200 sq. yards). In 2005, the government issued a notification to acquire it for an IT Park, but no compensation was paid, and possession was never taken. From 2003 to 2025, records such as the Encumbrance Certificate (EC), Sale Deed, and Pahani show continuous ownership in my name. Although there are court cases, none affect ownership. Under Section 24(2) of the LARR Act, 2013, if neither compensation is paid nor possession is taken, the acquisition lapses, rendering the 2005 notification void. Therefore, the land legally remains mine. To remove ambiguity and ensure absolute, uncontested ownership, obtaining an NOC from the Joint Collector is recommended. Without it, ownership remains valid but minor administrative issues may arise.
Since no compensation was paid and possession was never taken, the 2005 acquisition automatically lapses under Section 24(2) of the LARR Act, 2013. Your ownership remains valid. To avoid future disputes or administrative delays, apply for an NOC from the Joint Collector confirming the lapse of acquisition. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
