Bombay High Court Sets Aside Pune Court Order in Runwal-Bridge Water Realty Property Dispute

The Bombay High Court has overturned a Pune District Court interim order that had restrained Runwal Group from dealing with a disputed Lohgaon property, directing parties to maintain status quo while legal proceedings continue

Mumbai | 13 March, 2026:The Bombay High Court has set aside an interim order issued by the Pune District Court in a legal dispute between Runwal Group and Bridge Water Realty LLP over a property located at Mouje Lohgaon in Haveli taluka near Pune.

The Pune District Court had earlier granted interim relief in a Civil Miscellaneous Application filed by Ranjeet Darak of Bridge Water Realty LLP, restraining Runwal Group from transacting, transferring, assigning, or creating any third-party interest in the disputed land.

However, during the appeal proceedings, senior counsel representing Runwal Group argued that the lower court had passed an ex-parte order without issuing notice to the company or providing it an opportunity to present its case. The counsel further submitted that the order lacked recorded reasons and that there was no immediate urgency warranting such relief.

It was also contended that Bridge Water Realty LLP was not in possession of the property and therefore was not entitled to a blanket temporary injunction over the land.After hearing arguments from both parties, the Bombay High Court set aside the Pune District Court’s interim order and directed that status quo be maintained with respect to the disputed property until further legal proceedings.

Separately, an FIR has been registered by the Economic Offences Wing through Mumbai Police at Chembur Police Station against Darak and Nitin Chavan, partners of Bridge Water Realty LLP, along with members of the Mittal family including Meenadevi Satish Mittal, Ashish Satish Mittal, Kavita Ankush Agarwal and Nitin Satish Mittal.The case has been registered under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, including Section 318(4) for cheating, Section 61(2) for criminal conspiracy and Section 3(5) relating to common intention to commit a criminal act. The offences carry a potential punishment of up to seven years’ imprisonment, and investigations are currently ongoing.

Runwal Group has also written to the Enforcement Directorate seeking a comprehensive investigation into the alleged fraudulent activities linked to the case and requesting action under applicable laws.
