Overview
- Seven Eleven Construction formally returned its commencement certificate to the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation and asked for fees to be refunded, according to company letters submitted on Wednesday.
- The firm told officials it bought the Navghar plot by registered deed in June 2019 and received building permission on April 17, 2026, but cited an ongoing ownership dispute when it relinquished the approval.
- Eighty-one-year-old Asgarali Vohra, who says he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 8 to seek a CBI probe, alleges he bought the 2,810 sq m plot in 1989 and that documents were forged to divide the land.
- Official letters withdrawing a 2015 police complaint against Vohra and his associate were submitted ahead of a municipal hearing, and civic officials summoned company representatives on Wednesday for explanations.
- The retreat removes the immediate construction hurdle but leaves competing deeds and forgery allegations to legal and investigative processes, a development that could prompt further police review or a CBI probe and raise scrutiny of ties to the BJP MLA named in reporting.
