Mumbai: Last month, MahaRera issued a registration certificate to a project called ‘Infinite Residency’ proposed by developer Mistry Constructions at Navi Mumbai.

“You are requested to kindly withdraw the above registration immediately before any third-party interest is created in this project,” said Sunil Agarwal, a local resident, in a letter to the authority.

Agarwal had earlier dragged the City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) to court for allowing construction on wetlands. Cidco claims these water bodies are not wetlands.
