In a significant development in Navi Mumbai’s long-running land acquisition dispute, the Supreme Court on March 16 declined to hear CIDCO’s challenge to the Bombay High Court’s 2025 ruling, effectively lending it finality for now.

The case involves landowners from Bamandongri, Ulwe, and nearby villages, whose lands were acquired for township development. While the high court upheld the acquisition, it flagged serious procedural lapses and ensured limited relief for affected landowners. When contacted CIDCO officials refused to comment on the matter.
