The Gujarat High Court questioned former cricketer and TMC MP Yusuf Pathan’s occupation of a government plot in Vadodara despite refusal of allotment approval. The Court indicated he could face liability for unauthorized possession and compensation for use of public land.
The Gujarat High Court ruled that TMC MP Yusuf Pathan illegally occupied government land in Vadodara and must vacate it. The court said, “Granting concessions to such individuals despite flouting the law sends a wrong message to society.”
Former Indian cricketer and TMC MP Yusuf Pathan has approached the Gujarat High Court to contest a notice from Vadodara Municipal Corporation demanding the removal of an alleged encroachment on a disputed plot. Pathan argues that the VMC should have issued a show-cause notice considering the prolonged dispute and his current possession. The court’s directive indicates a thorough examination of both sides before a decision.
