Mumbai: Paving way for the construction of international airport in neighbouring Navi Mumbai, Bombay High Court today allowed CIDCO to transfer a 157-acre tract of land in Panvel, embroiled in ownership dispute, to Airports Authority of India.
While Maharashtra government claims that it had acquired this land in 1960s and transferred to CIDCO (the planning body for Navi Mumbai) in 1973, a family from village Ulwe in Panvel also has claimed ownership.
The division bench of Justices D K Deshmukh and S P Deshmukh today allowed CIDCO to transfer the land to AAI for the proposed greenfield airport, but kept the question of ownership open.
"It is clear from the records that the land is in possession of CIDCO for several years. The land will not be used for any commercial purpose unconnected to the construction of the airport," Justice Deshmukh said.
The court kept the petitioner Bivalkar family's plea pending.
