Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has clarified that land set aside for public facilities cannot be brought under the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS).
The court observed that areas reserved for community needs and public infrastructure must remain available for their intended purpose and cannot be converted into private holdings through regularisation.
According to the ruling, spaces earmarked for roads, parks, schools, playgrounds and other public facilities are meant to serve the community and should not be altered through the LRS process.
The High Court noted that the objective of the Layout Regularisation Scheme is to address eligible unapproved layouts and not to legalise land that has been allocated for public use.
The judgment is expected to have an impact on landowners and developers seeking regularisation of properties located on land designated for civic amenities and public infrastructure.
Legal experts believe the ruling reinforces the importance of protecting public utility spaces and maintaining planned urban development across the state.
