Mumbai Court Orders Eviction of Pali Hill Society Over Land Dispute
Imagine a housing society in Mumbai that was built on land leased from a famous actor and her husband a long time ago.
The court has now told the society to leave because they didn't pay rent properly.
The actor's family sued them many years ago for unpaid rent.
The society says they already paid all the rent and will fight the court's decision.
The land is worth a lot of money now.
The court decided that the family can have their land back.
The people living there will have to move out unless they win their appeal.
A Mumbai court ordered the Cozihom society to vacate land leased in 1959.
The land was originally leased from Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi.
The dispute involves unpaid rent and violation of lease agreements.
The society plans to appeal the eviction order in the Bombay High Court.
The land's current value is estimated to be over ₹1,000 crore.
