Pune: Amadea Enterprises LLP partner Digvijay Patil has withdrawn his anticipatory bail application from a city court in the case linked to the Mundhwa govt land parcel deal registered by the Khadak police and being investigated by the Economic Offences Wing.
In one of these orders, Yewale had written to the Botanical Survey of India, which possesses the land on lease till 2038, to vacate the same in favour of Amadea Enterprises LLP in which former deputy chief minister late Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth, is another partner. Patil’s lawyer S S Kulkarni filed a pursis (information to court) before the court of additional sessions judge BV Wagh on Feb 18 stating that, during the pendency of the present (anticipatory bail) application, the Investigating agency filed the chargesheet against other co-accused in the present matter.
“Therefore, the applicant seeks to withdraw the said bail application with liberty to file a fresh application, if necessary, after examining the chargesheet and taking appropriate grounds,” the application stated. Patil cited the reason of need to amend his pleadings and grounds for the anticipatory bail relief in the wake of the chargesheet filed by the police during the pendency of his application. The case relates to two illegal orders passed by suspended Pune city tehsildar Suryakant Yewale, granting ownership rights of govt lands in Mundhwa and Bopodi in favour of private parties, registered with the Khadak police. The court allowed the plea on these grounds by stating that the application was disposed of as withdrawn.
