Pune Land Deal: Court Rejects Bail, Civil Suit Filed
A court in Pune, India, rejected the bail request of a suspended government official named Suryakant Yeole.
He is accused of wrongly allowing a private company, Amadea Enterprises, to take over a 40-acre piece of land that actually belongs to the government.
The land deal was worth 300 crore rupees, and the company was also allegedly excused from paying 21 crore rupees in taxes.
The company is linked to the son of a high-ranking official in the state government.
The court decided against granting bail because the prosecution argued that Yeole knew the land belonged to the government but still allowed the private company to take it.
This case is combined with another similar case involving Yeole and land owned by the state's agriculture department.
Additionally, Amadea Enterprises has filed a civil suit seeking cancellation of the sale deed, claiming the land was purchased legally.
The matter is scheduled for a hearing on January 15, 2026.
Court rejected anticipatory bail plea of suspended tehsildar Suryakant Yeole in Pune land deal case.
Amadea Enterprises LLP, co-partnered by Parth Pawar, filed a civil suit seeking cancellation of the sale deed.
The 40-acre land parcel in Mundhwa belongs to the state government and could not be sold.
Amadea Enterprises was allegedly exempted from paying Rs 21 crore in stamp duty.
The Mundhwa land case and another Bopodi land case have been merged as Yeole is involved in both.
