Ajit Pawar Says Son’s Pune Land Deal Cancelled as Maharashtra Pursues High-Level Probe

A state probe now examines possible illegality in a Mahar Vatan land transfer, including claimed stamp-duty waivers.

Overview

  • Ajit Pawar said the agreement involving Parth Pawar has been scrapped, no money changed hands, no possession was taken, and cancellation documents have been filed with registrars.
  • The questioned transaction concerns roughly 40 acres of Mahar Vatan government land in Pune registered in May to Amadea Enterprises LLP for ₹300 crore, against opposition claims of far higher market value.
  • Authorities cite stamp-duty irregularities, with only ₹500 paid where about ₹21 crore was indicated, while orders note ₹6 crore in local and metro cesses could not be waived.
  • The government suspended sub-registrar R. B. Taru and tehsildar Suryakant Yewale and set up an inquiry led by Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue) Vikas Kharge, with findings expected within a month.
  • FIRs have been registered naming Digvijay Patil, Sheetal Tejwani and Taru, and a separate case also cites Yewale, while Parth Pawar has not been named as opposition leaders press for a judicial inquiry.
