India, May 10 -- The Maharashtra government will move the Supreme Court against a Bombay High Court order that cleared the way for the transfer of nearly 254.88 acres of prime land in Mira-Bhayandar to two private developers, revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said on Friday.

In a statement, Bawankule said the state revenue department would file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) challenging the April 30 high court ruling in favour of Estate Investment and Mira Real Estate Developers.

The land parcel in Mouje Bhayandar is estimated to be worth hundreds of crores and, according to the state government, belongs to the Maharashtra government.

Since the verdict was unexpected, directions have been issued to file a Special Leave Petition...
