The High Court at Aurangabad allowed Umesh Ram Giri's writ petition, quashing the land forfeiture order against him. The court found that the Deputy Collector's 2012 forfeiture order, upheld by the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, was unsustainable because authorities failed to act within three years of the 1995 sale deed, violating established precedent that revisional powers under the Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act must be exercised within three years. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
