Overview
- The Vadgaon Maval civil court, which received the suit last month, listed the next hearing for April 20 according to multiple outlets.
- Plaintiffs Chandrakant Balu Shinde and his mother say their family held protected tenancy on the Uksan plot since the 1940s and that their names were removed from revenue records in the 1980s without notice.
- The family argues the original owner’s 2012 sale and a later transfer to Goldie Behl in March 2021 are void because their tenancy rights were never ended by law.
- The suit also describes a December 14, 2025 visit when the couple allegedly arrived with workers and heavy machinery, and it claims police on site threatened the family with false cases.
- Sonali Bendre denies wrongdoing, says her name is on no land papers, and her lawyer calls the case an extortion bid while noting earlier appeals to the Tehsildar and SDO were dismissed.
