The dispute centers around 6.31 acres of land in Worli, a prime area in Mumbai.
The land in question was initially leased by the Improvement Trust Transfer Board (now known as the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, or MCGM) for the welfare of workers.
According to the company, after the 28-year lease period expired, the land was supposed to transfer to Century Textiles and Industries (CTIL) as the firm had paid the full cost of the scheme, including the cost of the land, and had constructed accommodation for the poorer classes at its own expense.
Despite CTIL's possession and continuous payment of property taxes, MCGM did not formally transfer the land as required by the terms of the scheme and the Improvement Trust Act.
This led CTIL to file a writ before the Bombay High Court, which in a judgment dated March 14, 2022, directed MCGM to execute a formal conveyance in favor of CTIL.
However, MCGM appealed this decision in the Supreme Court, and the apex court has now allowed the appeal, reversing the high court's ruling.
This decision has caused significant concern among investors, leading to a drop in Aditya Birla Real Estate's stock, which closed at Rs 2,228.40, down 3.59% from the previous day's closing.
In response to the Supreme Court's decision, Aditya Birla Real Estate is seeking legal advice to determine the next steps.
The company has stated in an exchange filing that there is no immediate material financial impact.
It has also clarified that the land in dispute is separate and distinct from the Birla Niyaara project at Worli, one of its key real estate developments.
Aditya Birla Group, the parent company of Aditya Birla Real Estate, is a leading name in the Indian business landscape, with diverse interests spanning textiles, metals, cement, and real estate.
Aditya Birla Real Estate, in particular, has been a significant player in the real estate sector, known for its high-quality residential and commercial projects.
The outcome of this legal battle will have broader implications for the company's future projects and financial standing.
Investors and stakeholders are closely watching developments, and the company's strategic response will be crucial in managing the fallout from this setback.
