The ~1600 acre land of Dargah Hussain Shah Wali in Manikonda is a subject of long-standing legal dispute, with the Supreme Court ruling in 2022 that the 1,654 acres of land belonged to the Telangana government, not the Waqf board. This decision came after the state government allotted parts of the land for IT development, which led to a protracted legal battle between the government and the Waqf board. The court ordered the government to pay the dargah, as directed by a previous ruling. 

  • Supreme Court ruling: In February 2022, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1,654 acres of land in Manikonda Jagir belonged to the Telangana government. 
  • Legal battle: The court’s decision ended a 16-year legal battle that began in 2006 when the Waqf board issued a notification claiming the land as its property. 
  • Allotment for development: The land was previously allotted by the government to various companies for IT and other developments. 
  • Government payment: The Supreme Court directed the government to make a cash payment to the dargah, as the land was originally allotted for service and was subject to the Commutation Regulation. 
  • Current status: The ownership is vested with the state government, but the dargah is entitled to a cash payment from the government.
