Mr. Kabogo is involved in the plot issue since he is named as the original allottee before Delgreen Limited, Mr. Doshi, Pratibha Ashok Doshi, and the Doshi Group of Businesses, who are now the owners, acquired the property.




In the dispute involving the transactions involving the plot where EACC claims a parking yard was carved out and a residential unit was built, Sheikh Ali Taib is named as a defendant.
