(It is also understood that 50% of the above owners are from England and amongst others includes Italy, Israel, Holland, France, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, UAE.) In another startling incidence, an area admeasuring about 20,000 square metres at Temwda, Morjim has been purchased by two foreigners and mutation executed withouth the knowledge of tenants who tilled the land for decades. About 14 tenants were now fighting a case before the deputy collector, Pernem to get mutation declared null and void. Tenants have suspected a racket involved in land dealing in the coastal areas as they never received any notices at the time of mutation process. The notices are in fact issued to care of addresses of a particular party in Bardez and Salcette areas who even forged their signatures as based on the acknowledgement received, the Pernem mamlatdar executed mutation process.
