Admissions to the Barrister Fatima Owaisi Educational Campus for the academic year 2026 to 27 will depend on the final outcome of an ongoing Full Tank Level case, the Telangana High Court has made clear. The court stated that any decision taken by students to join the institution will carry a degree of uncertainty due to the pending legal proceedings.
The ruling came during a hearing on allegations of illegal constructions within the Full Tank Level limits of Salkam Cheruvu in Hyderabad. The campus, managed by the Salar e Millat Educational Trust led by AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, has come under scrutiny in the case.
Justice NV Shravan Kumar emphasized that students and parents must be fully aware of the situation before taking admission. The court directed the college management to prominently display details of the pending case on notice boards, ensuring transparency. It also clarified that students enrolling now cannot claim any rights if the final verdict goes against the institution.
Raising serious concerns, the High Court questioned the delay in issuing the final notification of the lake’s Full Tank Level. Despite a preliminary notification being released in 2016, authorities have yet to finalize it. The court has now ordered revenue and irrigation departments to complete the process within two weeks.
The petition, filed by advocate Vijay Gopal, alleged that construction activity had taken place within the lake’s FTL and buffer zones in Bandlaguda Kalsa. The petitioner pointed out that complaints submitted in 2024 did not result in any concrete action from authorities, including HYDRAA.
The court also sought clarification from agencies such as HMDA and GHMC on whether they had knowledge of the lake boundaries before granting permissions for construction. Satellite images presented during the hearing reportedly indicated possible encroachments in the area.
In response, the High Court has restrained any further construction near Salkam Cheruvu and directed officials to identify unauthorized structures. A detailed report has been sought within two weeks from all concerned departments.
Highlighting environmental concerns, the petitioner urged authorities to prevent further damage to the lake and avoid complications for students in the future. The court has scheduled the next hearing for April 30, where further developments in the case will be reviewed.
