A firm majority-owned by Parth Pawar, son of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, must pay approximately ₹42 crore in double stamp duty to annul a controversial ₹300 crore sale of a 40-acre parcel in Pune’s Mundhwa area. The land, originally designated as “Mahar Watan” for tribal farmers, was transferred to the company without required clearances and with an alleged stamp duty exemption. FIRs have been filed against the signatories of the deed, though Parth Pawar—who holds 99 % of the company shares—was not named. (PC: NDTV)
