Jungle camps India Limited has announced the successful recovery of Rs. 1.34 crores following an order from the Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur Bench. The amount has been credited to the company's bank account from the sellers involved in a disputed land transaction, marking a significant positive development in an ongoing legal matter.

Background of the Dispute

The dispute originated from a land acquisition transaction completed in October 2025. Jungle Camps India Limited had acquired a land parcel measuring 5.054 hectares situated at Village Shivrajpur, District Chhatarpur from four sellers for a total consideration of Rs. 1.79 crores.

Discovery of Concealed Disputes

During the mutation process, the company discovered that the sellers had deliberately concealed a pre-existing legal dispute regarding the land. This concealment occurred despite the sellers providing written declarations in the sale deed stating that the land was free from all encumbrances and disputes. Based on legal advice following this discovery, the company filed a complaint on 26th December 2025 with Police Station Bamitha, District Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh under FIR 0012/2026.

Court-Ordered Recovery

The Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur Bench, issued an order directing the sellers to return a portion of the consideration amount. As a result of this judicial directive, Rs. 1.34 crores has been successfully credited to the company's bank account.

Financial Impact and Future Actions

The recovery of Rs. 1.34 crores represents the immediate return of blocked company capital, which will be utilized for ongoing business operations. However, the company has reserved its legal rights to pursue recovery of the remaining balance of approximately Rs. 45 lakhs from other co-accused and intermediaries involved in the dispute.

The company is also proceeding with the formal cancellation of the disputed sale deed as per judicial directives. This comprehensive approach ensures that Jungle Camps India Limited protects its interests while complying with all legal requirements and court orders in the matter.
