SC Dismisses Ghai's Plea, Asks Him To Return The Land

In a setback to film producer Subhash Ghai, the Supreme Court today upheld the Bombay High Court order quashing the 20 acre land allotted to his film institute in Filmcity.

A bench of justices H L Dattu and C K Prasad also pulled up former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh for allotting the land in 2004, saying the CM cannot bend or bypass rules to give away government land.

“One cannot be treated as blue-eyed boy for which chief minister can bend or bypass rules to give away the land of the state,” the bench said.
