Case Summary: WP/1837/2025 The Bombay High Court partially rejected the Gram Panchayat's challenge to a state solar energy project on government land (Gat No. 507), prioritizing public interest in renewable energy generation over mandatory consultation requirements under Section 8AA of the Maharashtra Village Panchayats Act. However, the court required compliance with consultation procedures before any acquisition of adjoining private/common land (Gat No. 506), ordering the Collector to decide within eight weeks after receiving the Gram Panchayat's views. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
