The Bombay High Court (Aurangabad Bench) partly allowed the writ petition, upholding that disputed land (Gut No. 112) is Government property and rejecting the petitioner's claim to ownership based on long-term cultivation, but quashed the Minister's order directing regularization of the respondents' encroachment as legally unsustainable and contrary to Supreme Court precedent. The Court directed the District Collector to remove all encroachments following due process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
