Yusuf Pathan Ko Wahi Plot, Jis Par Court Ne Kaha Haq Nahi
The Gujarat government has approved allotting a disputed 978-square-metre plot in Vadodara to former cricketer and Lok Sabha MP Yusuf Pathan under its policy for international sportspersons, Vadodara Municipal Corporation officials said. Of the plot, 500 square metres will be given free of cost for residential use and 478 square metres at 55% of assessed market value. The plot is valued at around ₹20.50 crore.
Pathan had sought the land since 2012, but the state rejected a lease proposal in June 2014 because the plot had not been offered at public auction. In August 2025 the high court held he had no legal right over it. On August 31 he withdrew his appeal, two days after the government resolution reached the municipal body. The order says the decision will not be cited as precedent.
Arey bhaiya, 2012 se plot par nazar, 2014 mein sarkar ne no bola, 2025 mein high court ne bola kuch haq nahi. Aur 2026 mein sab theek. Matlab kaam kuch nahi badla, bas sahi policy dhoondhne mein 14 saal lag gaye. Bahut badhiya.
Sabse mazedaar line suniye: 'Yeh decision precedent nahi banega.' Yaani sarkar khud kah rahi hai ki yeh kaam dobara nahi hoga. Sone par suhaaga, plot ka muavza bhi dusri VMC zameen se hoga. Matlab zameen ki hera pheri mein ek nayi zameen. Hum samjha rahe hain, yeh bank ki EMI nahi, yeh zameen ka cricket hai: kabhi bhi no ball.
FINAL VERDICTPrachand Chutiya Award for Best Timing: wahi file, wahi plot, bas 'precedent nahi hai' ka stamp lag gaya. Cricket mein bhi aisa DRS nahi milta.
