Wins long-pending legal battle in Supreme Court over 550 acres in Miyapur, Hyderabad
Supreme Court Affirms State Ownership
The Supreme Court has upheld the Telangana government's title over roughly 550 acres in Miyapur, Hyderabad, ending a long-running dispute. The land is estimated to be worth ₹50,000 crore.

What To Watch Next
