<h1>Commissioner cancels sale and power of attorney for 3.5-acre charitable property, orders refund of Rs 230 crore</h1> The charity commissioner ordered cancellation of a sale and power of attorney for a 3.5-acre charitable property in Pune, revoking an earlier permission for the trust to contract with a developer and directing the parties to take immediate steps to annul the October sale deed and refund the sale consideration to the developer. The developer had paid Rs 230 crore of the Rs 311 crore purchase price, with the balance earmarked for hostel redevelopment. The commissioner had previously imposed a status quo; the order follows community protests alleging trustees violated charitable-land norms in favoring the developer.
