Telangana High Court on Friday set aside the allotment of 3.7 acres of government land, made by the then BRS government in 2021, to International Arbitration and Mediation Centre which was formed vide a trust deed executed by the then Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana.
The bench of Justices K. Lakshman and K. Sujana, pronouncing verdict in a batch of two PIL petitions challenging allotment of land, however, upheld the decisions of the government granting ₹3 crore to IAMC, providing operational expenses to it and designating it as the arbitration centre for all State government departments. The judges, however, made it clear that Telangana government should get IAMC’s accounts audited by the Principal Accountant General (Audit) or any other competent officer.
