Bombay High Court Orders Partition of Pune Land Ending 76-Year Property Dispute

A 76-year-old property dispute in Pune involving heirs of landowner MMH Janmohamed concluded on February 27 when the Bombay High Court ordered the partition of nearly one acre of land in Yerawada. The dispute began in 1950 over valuable plots, including one on Deccan College Road, which was acquired by the Maharashtra government. Conflicting claims arose from heirs and a manager's descendants, with prior settlements addressing parts of the land. The court's recent order resolves the remaining contested property among the legal heirs.
