Court rules against Jamadar family in Bhima Koregaon ‘Jaysthambh’ land case

Court rules against Jamadar family in Bhima Koregaon ‘Jaysthambh’ land case



Court rules against Jamadar family in Bhima Koregaon ‘Jaysthambh’ land case: The suit was filed by 53-year-old former serviceman, Subedar Major/ Honorary Captain Balasaheb Anandrao Jamadar (Malvadkar) of New Sangvi, Namdev Gulabrao Jamadar (Malvadkar) (63) and his brother Ashok (60), both residing near Jaystambh.
The lawyers also pointed out that the Jamadar family had used the Jaysthambh land for cultivation and other commercial purpose, which was illegal and against the sanad.
Passing an oral order, Joint Civil Judge C P Bhagwat told the Jamadar family that their application has been rejected, and mentioned that they do not hold possession of the land.
The Samiti demanded that the Jamadar (Malvadkar) family’s name be removed from the 7/12 extract, the ‘encroachments’ done by them be cleared and action taken to prevent further encroachments.
All three claim to be heirs of Kandojibin Gajoji Jamadar (Malvadkar), a havaldar in British Army who fought the battle of Bhima Koregaon in 1818, in which the British had defeated the Peshwas.
