Mr Barla Rami Reddy and others filed the appeals against the orders of a single judge. The petitioners own about 20 acres at Poppalaguda and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority acquired their lands for construction of the ORR.

The petitioners told the court that the authorities intentionally changed the original alignment of the ORR to acquire their lands and the changed alignment is nearer to lakes, which seriously affects the environment.

Impressive Range of Mobiles, Apparel, Gifts, Digital and Personal Care Products to Choose from.

The single judge dismissed the plea by observing that the ORR is only an expressway through an urban area to ease traffic congestion in the arterial roads in the twin cities and linking the new international airport to various parts of the twin cities. The construction of ORR cannot be invalidated on the ground of lack of environmental clearance for Phase-II.

The bench while upholding the findings of the single judge observed that the parties shall bear their respective costs.
