Govt Not Decided On Renewing Turf Club Lease Or Making Theme Park At Mahalaxmi Racecourse: Bombay HC Accepts AG's Statement, Keeps Pleas Pending

Live Law  

The Bombay High Court has accepted the Maharashtra Government's statement on Thursday that they have not yet made a final decision about building a theme park or renewing the lease of the turf club on the 221-acre Mahalaxmi Racecourse. A division bench comprising Justices GS Patel and Kamal Khata refused to immediately interfere with the Chief Minister's statement dated December 6, 2023, directing the Royal Western India Turf Club, to hold an extraordinary general body meeting on January 31, 2024, and vote on a proposal for new terms of their lease. Senior Advocate Janak Dwarkadas for Kapadia said that as per the minutes of the meeting, RWITC was to take a decision on a proposal by Hafeez Contractor on his vision for the racecourse land in an EGM and submit this as a proposal to the State Government. However, Justice Patel said that with the Advocate General's statement that the December 6, meeting should not be considered a decision, the court had nothing to judicially review.
