The Brave Pedestrian

Mumbai, 18th January, 2018: Serenity is possibly the only project that has some genuine property value. Remember, Serenity project (and not just land) was mortgaged to Xander. Although they don't have registered agreements, allottees are an integral part of the project; without allottees, Serenity is just empty land. Xander is stuck with allottees that come along with the land, because it can only take over the project, and not the vacant land. Read the relevant part of Xander's public notice to fully understand this:  If Xander tries to dispossess the allotees of their rights, Bhagtani's bad reputation will rub off on it. On the other hand, if Xander completes the project to give flats or repayment to the allottees, it will earn great goodwill and probably decent profits also. Maharashtra government or MCGM can be persuaded to sweeten the deal with concessions in FSI, TDR. BJP and Sena can win over the vote-banks ahead of the 2019 elections, and every...

Mumbai, 1 January 2018: Happy New Year and welcome to 2018. Are Bombay High Court judges only incompetent, or are they also corrupt? Take a look at the Bhagtani hearings and understand why such a contemptuous question arises about Bombay High Court judges in general. In the course of the proceedings in Anticipatory Bail Application (ABA) no 1725 and 1533 of 2017, Diipesh, Mukesh and Lakshman Bhagtani have successfully exposing the infirmities of the court since mid-August 2017. Hrishikesh Mundargi, Mahesh Jethmalani, the Public Prosecutor and other "officers of the court" are abetting in this criminal activity. Although all of them passed orders that appeared strict, the overall effect of 12 hearings conducted by Justice Revati Mohite Dere, Justice A M Badar, Justice Anuja Prabhudessai and Justice AS Gadkari is to give Bhagtanis interim protection from arrest for nearly four months, without any genuine compliances. TIME is what the Bhagtanis desperately need for d...

5th December, 2017, Mumbai: Here is an example of how a police complaint should be written, in order to register an FIR against all the people who participated in the Bhagtani scam , and made it possible. Till date, a bout 500 victims of Bhagtani builders have submitted a written complaint to the Economic Offence Wing of Mumbai Police. This seems like a big number until you remember that Diipesh, Mukesh and Lakshman Bhagtani have defrauded over 2000 flat-buyers in half a dozen real estate projects across the city. So, 500 complainants are less than one-fourth of the total number of all the people who have been cheated in Bhagtani Riyo (Mira Road), Bhagtani Sapphire (Dahisar), Bhagtani Serenity and Krishaang (Powai), Bhagtani Savannah (Kanjurmarg) and Bhagtani Executive (Ghatkopar) . Over 75% of the cheated public is still silent, passive and dormant! One hopes that they will come out during 2018, and join the public campaign.  It is crucial to name and shame the employees...
