Gujarat Proposes Allotment of Disputed Vadodara Plot to MP Yusuf Pathan
The Gujarat government has proposed allotting a disputed 978-square-metre municipal plot in Vadodara to former cricketer and MP Yusuf Pathan, gifting 500 square metres and offering the remainder at a concessional rate. The land dispute dates back to 2012, involving legal challenges and an encroachment notice issued in 2024 after Pathan's election from West Bengal. The proposal awaits final approval from the BJP-ruled Vadodara Municipal Corporation's standing committee. Pathan had withdrawn his petition against earlier rejection by the Gujarat High Court.
