Seven Eleven Constructions has surrendered its construction permission for a disputed land parcel in Mira-Bhayandar after complainant Ajgar Ali Vohra raised allegations of land encroachment and illegal construction, including in a complaint submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The development concerns land in Survey No. 240 in the Indralok area of Bhayandar. Vohra had alleged that Soham Developers and Seven Eleven were involved in illegal encroachment on the property. According to the report, the revenue department later removed the company’s name from the land record, but the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation had not cancelled the construction permission.
Vohra subsequently met the prime minister on September 8 and presented his complaint about alleged administrative irregularities. The complaint and the continuing dispute were followed by Seven Eleven Constructions Private Limited sending an official letter to the municipal corporation’s town-planning department on September 13.
In the letter, the company said it had legally purchased the property from the original owners on June 12, 2019. It also stated that the municipal corporation had granted construction permission for the site on April 17. The company has now returned that permission to the corporation, citing the dispute surrounding the land, and has requested a refund of the fees it paid.
The surrender of a construction permission does not, by itself, settle the underlying question of land ownership or establish whether the alleged encroachment took place. Those issues remain subject to the records and proceedings of the relevant authorities. The report does not provide the amount of the fees claimed for refund or details of any construction completed on the site.
Municipal officials said a hearing process would be conducted according to the applicable rules in connection with the land-ownership dispute and the company’s letter surrendering the permission. The hearing is expected to determine how the municipal corporation will proceed with the permission and the related administrative record.
The matter highlights the separate responsibilities involved in urban development approvals. A construction permission issued by a municipal planning department concerns development control, while ownership and land-record questions are handled through the relevant revenue and legal processes. When the two records are contested, the status of a project can remain uncertain even after an approval has been issued.
Narendra Mehta has claimed that the matter has been resolved. However, the municipal corporation’s proposed hearing will be the next formal step concerning the surrendered permission and the disputed property. The available report does not record a final administrative or judicial decision on the ownership allegations.
