A division bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and SC Gupte was hearing a public interest litigation filed by RTI activist Sandeep Thakur, alleging that the minister, his son Sandeep Naik and his nephew Santosh Tandel had usurped land measuring over 1.45 lakh square meters at Belapur.u00a0

Tandel has constructed a bungalow called 'Glass House' on the land which has been declared as a 'No-Development Zone' by CIDCO due to sea water flowing into the plot, the PIL alleges.
