Auction-defence angles specific to Thane

Bhiwandi warehousing plots see reserve-price drops of 25–35% between auction rounds; Ghodbunder residential auctions clear at reserve in most cases. Auction challenges under Section 17 succeed on reserve-price defects, valuation-report suppression and inadequate publication.
