1. M/s.Shiviri Properties Pvt Ltd never had marking title to sell the land(188/1 and 188/2). I don't know why people purchased without checking the land's documents. hkrish: If the current developers (Om balaji jasmines) name is also not appearing in ANY EC, RTC, Mutation (as you mentioned above). ...

3800 ! :shock: I think if they keep on raising prices like this, some day some casual enquirer may have Cardiac-arrest listening to these prices, and confident has to confidently face the consequences, and be morally responsible for it.
