Bombay HC Questions Police for Not Naming Parth Pawar in Pune Land FIR

The remark followed a hearing on accused Sheetal Tejwani’s pre-arrest plea that she withdrew after the bench indicated reluctance.

Overview

Sheetal Tejwani withdrew her High Court pre-arrest plea after Justice Madhav Jamdar suggested the court would not entertain it.
The judge asked whether police were protecting Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son by excluding Parth Pawar from the FIR while investigating others.
Prosecutors told the court the Pune Police Economic Offences Wing investigation is ongoing and will proceed according to law.
The case centers on a 40-acre Mundhwa sale to Amadea Enterprises LLP, linked to majority partner Parth Pawar, on land alleged to be restricted Mahar Watan with claimed stamp-duty waivers of about Rs 21–25 crore.
An IGR committee had named Digvijay Patil, Tejwani and sub-registrar Ravindra Taru, leading to FIRs and Tejwani’s Dec 3 arrest with custody through Dec 11, while opposition figures demand an FIR against Parth and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said no one will be shielded.
