Amravati Housing Society Allowed 20%+30% Land Premium

Authority: High Court of Gujarat at Ahmedabad

Order Date: 22/10/2026

Case Overview

• Petitioner: Amravati Co Operative Housing Society Limited.
• Respondents: State of Gujarat and another party (ANR).
• Advocate General of Gujarat, Ms. Nirali Sarda, submitted affidavit stating that the land parcel was allotted for residential purpose only; conversion to multipurpose use requires payment of 20% of Jantri rate for tenure conversion and an additional 30% for non‑agricultural purpose. The petitioner had applied for only the 30% payment, leading to the application being consigned to file.
• The AGP assured the Court that if the petitioner pays the 20% premium first and later the 30% premium at the time of non‑agricultural conversion, the application can be considered positively.
• Petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Prateek S. Bhatia, sought to withdraw the petition and approach the Collector, Vadodara, to file a fresh application with the staged premium payments.

Final Outcome

• The Court disposed of the petition, directing that any future application be decided by the Collector, Vadodara, in accordance with the assurance given in the affidavit dated 05‑Oct‑2026.
