The court also directed the BPC to deposit Rs 45.90 lakh before it in 30 days, which will be put as a fixed deposit.
Passing an order following a petition filed by BPC after Patel's ouster, senior divisional judge PP Shah ordered that Patel and Bhoomi Developers will be barred from transferring, selling or putting it as security. The court also made it clear that Patel was not authorised to do so and even those who purchased it have not done it with a right intention.
BPC had filed a case to terminate the sale deed and win back the land while it also filed a petition to put a stay over any further transfer or sale of land till the court gives its final order.
Reacting to this order, Patel said, “It is an internal dispute and ego clash. The court has not penalised me or asked for any cost damage recovery. BPC has a malafied intention as the builder has not paid the money.”
The city-based non-profit organisation BPC, which is undertaking various training programmes, has been mired in controversy after Patel's stint as its president and the land deal he struck allegedly misusing his powers .
Patel during his tenure had allegedly given power of attorney to one Indravadan Patel to sale BPC land after which he sold it to his son-in-law Tejas Ravindra making a sale deed worth Rs 55.11 lakh on June 29, 2005 for the revenue survey number 620/7 land in Gorwa. It was reportedly done without informing the managing committee of BPC.
Later, Patel made official documents of the sale and also registered it with Vadodara sub-registrar’s office, which mentioned that BPC had taken Rs 1.11 lakh on June 2, 2004 for this purpose. However, he was removed from the post on April 7, 2007, and then BPC filed criminal and civil suits against him and others of Bhoomi Developers.
