Ahmedabad,13/9: The Gujarat High Court recently ruled that former cricketer and TMC MP Yusuf Pathan is an “encroacher” of a residential plot in Vadodara and directed the civic authorities to remove the encroachment. The court emphasized that granting leniency to celebrities for defying the law sends the wrong message to society.
A single bench of Justice Mauna Bhatt passed the order last month, rejecting the petition filed by Pathan. The former cricketer had challenged the Vadodara Municipal Corporation’s (VMC) notice issued last year, which asked him to vacate the government owned plot.
