Bombay HC questions Mundhwa land deal, asks if 99% shareholder Parth Pawar is not beneficiary

The Bombay High Court has stepped up pressure on the Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government over the Mundhwa land case, raising pointed questions about the involvement of Parth Pawar, who holds a 99% shareholding in the entity at the centre of the deal.

The court's queries suggest skepticism about claims that despite overwhelming shareholding, Pawar may not be considered a direct beneficiary of the transaction. The observations indicate the HC's intent to examine the structuring and actual beneficiaries behind the land arrangement.

The case continues to draw judicial scrutiny into the government's handling of the matter.
