Congress Seeks Criminal Cases and Deed Cancellation in Pune Government-Land Deal Linked to Parth Pawar

Current FIRs name intermediaries, with Parth Pawar not listed as an accused.

Overview

  • Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar wrote to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking criminal charges, suspension of officials, and immediate cancellation of the Mundhwa sale documents.
  • Revenue records show the 43-acre plot is owned by the ‘Bombay Government’ and leased to the Botanical Survey of India until 2038, yet a sale deed was registered on May 20, 2025 after a token Rs 11,000 deposit on December 30, 2024.
  • Pune police have registered FIRs at Bavdhan and Khadak naming Digvijay Amarsingh Patil, Sheetal Tejwani, suspended sub-registrar Ravindra Taru, and tehsildar Suryakant Yewale in related land-transfer cases.
  • Authorities have suspended the joint sub-registrar and the tehsildar, and the state has announced that the registration has been cancelled with a committee inquiry underway.
  • Political pressure is intensifying with comparisons to the Adarsh case, as critics question why Parth Pawar, reported to hold a 99% stake in Amedia Enterprises LLP, is not an accused in the FIRs.
