Explain in three weeks: HC to government over land allotment to former MP’s son, daughter
The Telangana High Court has granted the state government a final three-week deadline to explain the controversial land allotment to the children of a former MP. The petitioner alleges that the land was regularized in violation of standard procedures, causing a loss to the state exchequer.

Venkateshwar Rao and Gadwal Vijaya Laxmi, son and daughter of former MP K. Keshava Rao, respectively at MBT Nagar in Banjara Hills.
