Gujarat Government Approves Land Allotment to Yusuf Pathan After Legal Dispute
Former cricketer and MP Yusuf Pathan is set to receive a disputed 978-square-meter plot adjacent to his Vadodara home after a prolonged legal battle dating back to 2012. The Gujarat government approved allotting half the land as a gift under special provisions for distinguished sportspersons, with Pathan paying a concessional rate for the remainder. This decision followed his political shift from Trinamool Congress to the NDA-aligned Nationalist Citizens Party of India in 2026. The Vadodara Municipal Corporation is finalizing the allotment process.
