50 Crore Land Dispute: Gayatri Parivar, Army, Municipal Corp Among 5 Claimants

• A 50 crore land in Jabalpur's Right Town is at the center of a dispute with five claimants after the death of Dr. Hemlata Srivastava.
• Claimants include Dr. Hemlata's sisters, a Jain couple (claiming a gift deed for a hospital), Gayatri Parivar (claiming a will), the Municipal Corporation, and the Indian Army.
• The Municipal Corporation canceled the lease for the 25,000 sq ft plot, asserting ownership and planning to open an office there.
• Legal experts state the primary issue is land ownership, as it was leased, not owned, making gift deeds or wills potentially invalid without clear title.
• The Collector confirmed the land was leased by the Municipal Corporation, and the dispute will be heard in the SDM Court on February 27.
