Rajinder Shekhawat, son of President Pratibha Patil and Congress MLA, on Wednesday denied his family had been accused of land grabbing in Maharashtra.
"The order of Sub Divisional Officer was that a fresh measurement of the land will take place...believe me, there is no such issue of land grabbing," Shekhawat told PTI here.
He said the land in question relates a four decade-old case which was filed by his grandfather.
Since the case is old, the land records were not available, he said.
A revenue court in Maharashtra has ordered that the names of relatives of President Pratibha Patil, including her husband Devisingh Shekhawat, be deleted from the ownership of a disputed piece of agricultural land in a village near Amravati.
The order by Sub Divisional Officer (SDO) Ashok Amankar, in quasi-judicial authority, came on a petition by one Kishore Bansod, who had claimed that the Shekhawat clan had allegedly got their names included in the land title. PTI
