Pune, Jan 3 – Bollywood star Rani Mukherjee’s dream of owning a house in the temple town of Shirdi in Maharashtra was dashed Thursday with a court refusing to give her the title of the land she had been duped into buying.
Sub-Divisional Magistrate Nandakumar Suryanvanshi, passing the final order, said: ‘The land was taken back by the government. Rani Mukherjee’s application to register her name on the form 7/12 (land revenue record) is rejected.’
‘And all the other names registered before the transaction are also cleared from the record. And an order has been passed to register the government’s name on the record,’ the magistrate said.
The actress, who wanted to build a house in Shirdi where the revered shrine of Sai Baba is located, had purchased 11,000 sq ft land in 2005 from one Sampat More. But Rani was unaware that it was non-transferable farmland and hence could not be sold
