Suhana Khan Land Deal: Alibag Officials Find “Breach of Terms,” But Recommend Fine Over Forfeiture in Controversial Case

A fresh controversy has erupted over a land deal involving actor Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, in Alibag. The Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) has accessed exclusive reports from the local Tehsildar’s office that confirm illegal constructions on the disputed plot, deemed a “clear breach of terms.” Despite this finding, the revenue department is under scrutiny for reportedly recommending a financial penalty to regularize the land instead of initiating harsh legal action, raising questions of preferential treatment.

Tehsil Reports Confirm Violations, Yet Propose Penalization Path

The core of the issue lies in two reports submitted by Tehsildar Vikram Patil to the Raigad District Collector. The documents explicitly note that the Class-2 agricultural land in Thal village, Alibag, has constructions including a swimming pool, a watchman’s room, and a bathroom, estimated to be roughly 35 years old. This is a clear violation of the leasehold conditions.

However, diverging from standard procedure for such breaches, the reports recommend allowing the current owners to pay a penalty of 50% of the land’s prevailing annual market value to convert it to Class-1 (freehold) status under Section 6 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Rules, 2019, rather than recommending immediate government seizure.

The Rs. 12.91 Crore Agreement and Allegations of a “Fraud on the State”

The timeline of the deal is crucial. The original owner, Anjali Khote, had applied for land conversion in February 2022. Before any permission was granted, a registered agreement to sell (No. 2224/2023) was executed with Suhana Khan on May 31, 2023, for a staggering sum of Rs. 12.91 Crores. complainant, Advocate Vivek Thakur, alleges this constitutes a “fraud on the state.”

He argues that by selling land still bound by government conditions without disclosing the pending conversion application, the Khote family circumvented the law. Thakur demands criminal prosecution and immediate forfeiture of the land to the government, opposing the mere penalty route.

Delays and Data Discrepancies Raise Red Flags in Investigation

The Sprouts News Investigation Team (SIT) notes several inconsistencies that deepen the mystery. Advocate Thakur has highlighted a puzzling 3.5-year delay by the Tehsil office in submitting its report on Khote’s 2022 application. Furthermore, the estimated age of the constructions (“35 years”) is being questioned.

Thakur points to a prior inspection report from two years ago that allegedly stated “no constructions existed” on the plot. He has demanded a scientific audit by the building department to verify the true age of these structures, suspecting the “35-year” claim may be a ploy to grandfather them in before the 1991 Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) notification.

Legal Limbo: Why No Immediate Action Has Been Taken

Officially, the Tehsil office maintains that immediate legal action is complex. They state that while an agreement to sell is registered, the actual title deed and physical possession have not yet been formally transferred to Suhana Khan. As the land remains in Khote’s name, the primary liability currently rests with the original owners. This legal nuance is cited as a reason for the recommended penalty process against Khote. However, critics argue this ignores the broader conspiracy to circumvent land laws and the alleged involvement of high-profile buyers.

The Thal land case has escalated beyond a simple property dispute, morphing into a test of administrative integrity and accountability. With the Tehsil’s reports confirming violations but suggesting a financially convenient solution, all eyes are now on the office of the Raigad District Collector. The decision to either impose a cost and regularize the deal or to initiate stern action for breach of conditions and fraud will set a significant precedent for handling similar high-stakes land dealings in Maharashtra. The ball is now in the court of the revenue department.
