Pune Land Deal: Court Rejects Bail, Civil Suit Filed

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.
