A special court in Mumbai has acquitted builder Chaitanya Laxmidas Vora in a 44-year-old case involving alleged manipulation of land measurement records to secure additional Floor Space Index (FSI) benefits. The court held that the prosecution failed to establish the charges due to insufficient evidence, the absence of key witnesses and the inability to produce original revenue records or prove document forgery. The alleged offence related to changes made to the recorded area of a Vile Parle property between 1980 and 1982, while the First Information Report (FIR) was registered only in 1992 and the chargesheet was filed in 2016.
