Inquiry Names Three in Pune Watan Land Deal, Parth Pawar Not Named as Firm Gets 7 Days on ₹42 Crore Notice

The firm now faces a ₹42 crore stamp-duty demand with a seven-day deadline under the Registration Act.

Overview

  • An official panel led by Joint IGR Rajendra Muthe held Sheetal Tejwani, Digvijaysingh Patil and suspended sub-registrar Ravindra Taru responsible for the Mundhwa transaction.
  • The report does not name Parth Pawar, noting his absence from the registered documents tied to the nearly 40-acre sale.
  • The Department of Registration and Stamps issued the ₹42 crore notice on November 7 and, after an extension request, set a revised reply deadline of November 24.
  • Officials say the land was undervalued and a 5% duty waiver was claimed via a letter of intent while the remaining 2% was unpaid, yet the sale deed was registered at the Bavdhan office.
  • Two FIRs have been filed—one in Bavdhan alleging a fraudulent sale deed on government land and another in Khadak after revenue record discrepancies were found.
