Pune: Mahalunge-Maan Development To Move Forward As High Court Dismisses Petition

Pune, 4th August 2023: The High Court has rejected a petition against the Mahalunge-Maan Town Planning Scheme introduced by the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) in 2017. The scheme covers 250.50 hectares in Mahalunge-Maan and aims to streamline development in the region.
The petition, filed by Chandrakant Kolekar and 54 other landowners, sought compensation for land acquisition under the 2013 Act and raised other issues to nullify the scheme. However, the High Court’s verdict in September 2022 clarified that court approval is needed for land possession within the scheme area.
On August 2, 2023, the High Court dismissed the petition, allowing for accelerated development under the town planning scheme. This decision enables a more productive collaboration between landowners and the authority, facilitating swift plot-wise demarcation and on-site stone plantation for efficient implementation. The development in Mahalunge-Maan is expected to pick up pace, benefiting residents and the region’s progress.
