Bombay HC Questions Forest Department in Yeoor Dargah Eviction Case

The Bombay High Court is dealing with a case about the eviction of the Hazrat Peer Mamu Bhanje Dargah in Yeoor, Thane.

The Forest Department issued a final eviction notice on July 9, 2026, but the Dargah Trust argued that an appeal was available and had been filed.

The court found it troubling that the Forest Department initially stated an appeal was available but later claimed it was not.

The court granted interim relief, staying further action until the next hearing on August 10, 2026.

The court noted that the Forest Department's contradictory stands left the petitioner in a difficult position.
