Yusuf Pathan Withdraws Gujarat High Court Appeal Over Vadodara Civic Land Dispute
Former cricketer and MP Yusuf Pathan withdrew his Gujarat High Court appeal concerning a disputed 978-square-metre Vadodara Municipal Corporation land plot. His lawyer stated the withdrawal followed a lack of response from the civic body regarding a policy that allows international cricketers to claim such land. The court dismissed the case as withdrawn. Pathan had challenged a previous order labeling him an 'encroacher' and sought the plot under a state policy, but the matter remains unresolved outside court proceedings.
