Quick Summary: The Bombay High Court turned down a lawsuit filed by Rajesh Shinde, who wanted rights to a piece of land in Pune. The court decided that the case was brought too late and was based on outdated information.
Back in 1964, land in Kothrud village, Pune, was sold to Vidya Devkule and Shakun Apte. Over the years, several transactions happened, including deals to develop the land and sell it. The land was eventually developed, and new ownership rights were created.
Rajesh Shinde claimed rights based on an agreement from 1982, supposedly involving his father, Chandrakant Shinde. Rajesh said he found his father's will in 2013, which supposedly gave him rights to the land.
"Rajesh Shinde wants the agreement made in favor of his father, late Chandrakant Shinde, to be honored."
In 2014, Rajesh Shinde filed a suit to enforce the agreement and wanted to cancel several deals made by Vidya Devkule and Shakun Apte. He also demanded Rs. 250 crores in damages if the land transfer couldn't happen.
The court, led by Judge Sandeep V. Marne, found that:
"Rajesh Shinde’s suit to enforce the agreement from 15 January 1982 is clearly too late."
The court dismissed Rajesh Shinde's suit, pointing out that the claims were not only outdated but also pointless. The ruling highlighted the importance of taking legal action on time and the risks of trying to bring back issues that have been settled long ago.
