AP High Court : State cannot gift land

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, July 27: A division bench comprising Chief Justice G.S. Singhvi and C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy said the State is only the trustee of the lands and that people were the real owners while hearing the arguments in IMG Bharata land issue.

Stating that the State has no right to gift away lands to firms according to its whims and fancies, the bench asked the advocate general who gave the State such powers. The case has been posted for hearing on Monday, July 30.
