This decline was the result of a recent Supreme Court judgment that overturned a 2022 ruling by the Bombay High Court, which had previously favored the company in a land dispute with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM).
The dispute revolves around 6.31 acres of land in Worli, Mumbai.
According to Aditya Birla Real Estate, the land was leased to them by the Improvement Trust Transfer Board, now known as MCGM, for the welfare of workers.
The terms of the lease agreement stated that after a 28-year period, the ownership of the land would transfer to Century Textiles and Industries (CTIL), as the company had paid the full cost of the scheme, including the land, and constructed accommodation for the poorer classes at its own expense.
CTIL has been in possession of the land and has been paying property taxes.
However, MCGM failed to take the necessary steps to formally transfer the land to CTIL as required under the terms of the scheme and the Improvement Trust Act.
This led CTIL to file a writ before the Bombay High Court, seeking a formal conveyance of the land in its favor.
The Bombay High Court issued a judgment on March 14, 2022, directing MCGM to execute a formal conveyance in favor of CTIL.
Unhappy with this decision, MCGM filed an appeal in the Supreme Court, which has now been allowed, reversing the high court's ruling.
In response to the Supreme Court's decision, Aditya Birla Real Estate is seeking legal advice to determine the next steps in the matter.
The company has stated that there is no immediate material financial impact.
Additionally, Aditya Birla Real Estate clarified that the land in question is separate from and does not impact the Birla Niyaara project at Worli.
Aditya Birla Group is a leading conglomerate with diverse interests in sectors such as aluminum, cement, textiles, and real estate.
Aditya Birla Real Estate, a subsidiary of the group, has been at the forefront of developing premium residential and commercial projects across India.
The company's focus on sustainable and innovative projects has earned it a strong reputation in the market.
For investors looking to understand the implications of this legal battle and its potential impact on the company's financial health, it is advisable to track the latest developments and seek expert advice on portfolio management.
