Former society secretary’s diligence leads to rightful transfer of Colaba flat back to deceased owner’s name

After Annie’s death, her flat was illegally transferred to John Lobo using a fake nomination certificate
After thirteen years, justice has been served for a 60-year-old woman who passed away in 2011. Annie Dias, a resident of Usha Kiran Society in Colaba, owned a 2-BHK flat worth Rs 2 crore. However, after her death, her flat was illegally transferred to John Lobo using a fake nomination certificate, with the assistance of some unknown society members. The discrepancies in the documents were noticed by the former society secretary, Tanya D’Souza, who raised the issue with the registrar. Annie, who lived alone, was found dead in her locked flat in 2011. The decomposed body of Annie was discovered in her flat after two days. Despite the flat being registered under Annie and her sister Bruna Dias`s names, John managed to transfer the flat to his name using fraudulent means.
