The Maharashtra government has announced its intention to appeal a recent Bombay High Court decision that allows the transfer of nearly 255 acres of land in Mira-Bhayandar to two private developers, Estate Investment and Mira Real Estate Developers. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule stated that the state will file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court to contest the April 30 ruling, which the government argues undermines its ownership rights over the land. The state claims that unauthorized alterations to the land records have occurred since 1948, leading to the illegal insertion of private company names into official documents. The land in question is considered prime real estate and is valued at hundreds of crores. The government contends that the High Court's decision could allow private developers to maintain their names on government land records, which they view as a threat to public property. Bawankule asserted that the state will take strong action to protect its assets and prevent any illegal claims on government land.
