Bombay High Court Ends 76-Year-Old Property Dispute in Pune's Yerawada

A 76-year-old property dispute in Pune's Yerawada, originating shortly after India's Constitution came into force in 1950, has concluded with the Bombay High Court ordering the partition of the remaining one-acre land among heirs of MMH Janmohamed. The case involved multiple heirs contesting shares of a 16-acre estate, including a prime Deccan College Road plot acquired by the government in 1979. Complex claims from a manager's heirs and an adverse possession claimant were resolved through court orders and compromises over decades, culminating in the recent final division.
