Maharashtra Orders Probe, Files FIRs After Pune Land Deed Linked to Parth Pawar Is Scrapped

A month-long inquiry led by Additional Chief Secretary Vikas Kharge will examine alleged undervaluation and stamp-duty lapses in the Mundhwa transfer tied to Amadea Enterprises.

Overview

  • Ajit Pawar said the 40-acre Mundhwa sale deed to Parth Pawar–linked Amadea Enterprises for ₹300 crore has been cancelled and insisted he had no prior knowledge of the deal.
  • Two FIRs have been registered, naming Digvijay Patil, Sheetal/Sheetal Tejwani and sub-registrar R.B. Taru, while Parth Pawar has not been named as an accused.
  • The Revenue Department has suspended sub-registrar Taru and tehsildar Suryakant Yewale, and a six-member panel headed by ACS Vikas Kharge has been tasked to report in about a month.
  • Official complaints allege stamp-duty evasion despite a directive to collect about ₹5.89–6 crore, with separate reports citing a ₹21-crore waiver, and officials say double duty of roughly ₹42 crore is payable to cancel the registration.
  • Opposition parties demand a judicial probe and some seek Ajit Pawar’s resignation, as he blames the registrar’s office, calls the episode a mistake by his son, and labels the accusations election-time politics.
