Bombay HC Orders Partition of Last Yerawada Acre, Closing 76-Year Inheritance Case

Implementation now moves to land-record officials under a court-approved layout.

Overview

  • Justice Farhan P. Dubash accepted the court commissioner’s report and an August 2025 plan to divide Final Plot No. 79 (Part) measuring 4,271.50 sq m in Yerawada.
  • The Commissioner for Taking Accounts has been directed to effect partition, obtain demarcation through the District Superintendent of Land Records or City Survey Officer in Pune, and ensure revenue records are updated.
  • The court rejected a developer’s objection to a 12‑metre internal road, finding the requirement consistent with Maharashtra’s UDCPR norms.
  • Status quo will be maintained over six sub‑plots until June 15, 2026, with related appeals pending, including issues tied to an adjoining parcel identified as Final Plot No. 80.
  • The ruling reflects earlier milestones including a 1955 compromise granting the estate manager’s heirs a one‑fourth share and a 1979 compensation payout after the state acquired the Deccan College Road property.
