Parth Pawar-Linked Pune Land Deal Must Pay Rs 42 Crore Before Cancellation

A state-appointed committee is reviewing the transfer following FIRs that name registration signatories as well as a sub-registrar.

Overview

  • An official letter to Amadea Enterprises says the waived ₹21 crore stamp duty must be repaid and an additional ₹21 crore paid to register the cancellation, after scrapping the data-centre exemption.
  • Authorities say the 40–44 acre Mundhwa parcel is Mahar Watan government land leased to the Botanical Survey of India and is not transferable to a private buyer.
  • FIRs name Digvijay Patil, power-of-attorney holder Sheetal (Shital) Tejwani, and suspended sub-registrar R. B. Taru, with the tehsildar Suryakant Yewale also suspended for related actions.
  • Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has set up a six-member probe led by Additional Chief Secretary Vikas Kharge, while he says action will follow the evidence and no one will be spared.
  • Ajit Pawar says he had no prior knowledge and announced cancellation, which officials clarify can proceed only after dues are paid, as opposition leaders demand wider accountability and a white paper.
