A legal battle has erupted over the sale of a historic 2.5-acre Parsi sanatorium in Sanjan, Gujarat, with the donor family opposing the World Zoroastrian Organisation Trust Funds' plan to sell the property to a builder, claiming it violates the original 1997 charitable deed.

A proposal to auction a historic 2.5-acre sanatorium in Sanjan has triggered strong opposition from the Parsi-Irani Zoroastrian community, who view the site adjacent to the 1917 Memorial Column as sacred heritage facing financial pressures from the World Zoroastrian Organisation Trust.

Maharashtra's Charity Commissioner has ordered a status quo on a contentious ₹230-crore land deal involving Seth Hirachand Nemchand Smarak Trust and Gokhale Landmarks LLP in Pune's Model Colony, following protests over an allegedly undisclosed Jain temple on the property.
