Overview
- Tehsildar Suryakant Yewale and Sub-Registrar Ravindra Taru were suspended as the government formed a high-level committee that the Registration department said must report within 10 days.
- Joint IGR Rajendra Muthe said a criminal complaint will be filed against Amadea Enterprises LLP and the sub-registrar, alleging fake 7/12 extracts, lack of collector sanction, and failure to collect mandatory stamp duty.
- Authorities are scrutinizing the transfer of about 40 acres in Pune’s Mundhwa/Koregaon Park area reportedly sold for roughly ₹300 crore, with opposition leaders claiming a market value near ₹1,800 crore.
- Conflicting accounts persist over fiscal treatment of the deal, with reports alleging a ₹21 crore waiver or payment of only ₹500, as Muthe contends even the 2% mandatory duty—about ₹5.38 crore—was not taken.
- Opposition parties demand a judicial probe and question rapid industry-related approvals tied to an IT park plan, while Parth Pawar denies wrongdoing and Ajit Pawar says he has no connection and supports an inquiry.
