Hyderabad, June 24: The AP High Court on Tuesday gave its nod to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams to acquire temple and mutt land to construct residential quarters for TTD employees. This comes after the executive officer of the TTD had filed an interim application seeking permission from the court to allow it to acquire land for the construction of residential quarters under the "Own Your House" scheme.
Mr Srinivas, counsel for the TTD, told the division bench comprising Chief Justice A.R. Dave and Justice R. Subhash Reddy that it proposed to construct houses for the employees.
He said due to stay orders on acquisition of land belonging to temples, mutts and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments, the TTD was unable to launch the scheme.
He urged the court to permit the organisation to acquire 26.62 acres belonging to Sri Hathiramji Mutt and 100 acres belonging to Sri Laxminarayana Swamy Temple in Tirupati.

Senior advocate Mr S. Ramachandra Rao, argued on behalf of the Vaikhannasa Pitham, objected that the court cannot allow the TTD to go ahead with the scheme.
