Bombay HC Asks Why Parth Pawar Wasn't Booked In Mundhwa Land Case Despite 99% Stake In Firm That Bought Land Parcel

The Bombay High Court questioned the Maharashtra government on Thursday regarding the lack of inclusion of Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar in the accused list of the Mundhwa land scam case. This comes despite the fact that he owns a 99% stake in the firm, Amadea Enterprises LLP, which allegedly purchased a 40-acre government-owned land parcel in Mundhwa, Pune, for a significantly lower price than its actual value.
The case involves the unauthorised sale of the land, which falls under the Mahar Watan category, to Amadea Enterprises for Rs 300 crore. The land had previously been leased to the Botanical Survey of India. The court's questioning of the Maharashtra government's decision to only charge Digvijay Patil, who holds a 1% stake in the firm, with involvement in the case, raised suspicions about the fairness of the investigation and the potential lack of accountability for the individual with a majority stake.
