Overview
- The Kharge committee report, tabled Wednesday in the Maharashtra legislature, says the 40-acre Mundhwa parcel was shifted by an unauthorised sale deed.
- Investigators found collusion across revenue, stamp and registration offices, and flagged manipulated entries and wrongful classifications in land records.
- The panel called a ₹21 crore stamp-duty waiver a grave irregularity and noted that Amadea Enterprises was told to pay the duty plus ₹1.5 crore interest, with the firm’s appeal pending before the stamp department.
- Police have filed chargesheets against power-of-attorney holder Sheetal Tejwani and suspended sub-registrar Ravindra Taru, and supplementary probes now focus on Amadea partner Digvijay Patil and tehsildar Suryakant Yewale.
- The land remains state property under a long BSI lease and is Mahar Watan land, a hereditary grant that limits private claims, and the panel urged a permanent transfer to BSI with digitised, regularly updated land records to prevent repeats.
