Here's a quick rundown: An 86-year-old retired police officer, Bondugula Vasudev Reddy, says he owns a piece of land in Telangana. He's been trying to get his name corrected in the official records. The court has given him a way to do this, but it's not as easy as it sounds.
Bondugula Vasudev Reddy, a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, claims he is the rightful owner of 6.10 acres of land in Aroor Village. However, the official records don't have his name. He got some information using the Right to Information Act, but it wasn't helpful. The records were wrong, and there was no way to fix them online.
"There is no way to ask for a correction of the wrong entry on the Dharani Portal..."
Reddy is 86 years old and has health problems. This has slowed down his efforts to correct the records. Even though he got a land ownership passbook in 2018, it didn't list his property. He didn't take action until he got more information in 2021.
The Telangana government introduced the Bhu Bharati Act and Rules in 2025. These rules say Reddy needs to apply online to get his name in the records. He must submit all necessary documents and follow the new guidelines.
Judge K. Lakshman decided that Reddy can submit an online application according to the new rules. The authorities must look at his case and make a decision within 30 days. If they say no, they have to explain why.
"The responsible authority must handle it according to the law by informing Reddy and everyone involved."
Reddy now has a clear way to proceed. He needs to gather all necessary documents and submit an online application. The authorities will then decide if his name can be added to the records.
This case shows how complicated land ownership can be and the difficulties older people face when dealing with government processes.
