[Resolved]  Royal Indian Raj International Corporation — The Real Truth About Royal Indian Raj

I certainly was a little upset until I investigated the Bangalore Airport Authority and the status of the BIAPPA Regional Master plan holding up the Royal Garden Project and the release of over 400 other projects in the vicinity. I am also advised of two articles posted by the Times of India in Dec, 2008 announcing the Master Plan approval date mandated by the Supreme Court and the 2ND announcing the notification of the Master Plan in Jan, 2009. Upon which permissions are given at the Royal Garden site. The Delhi Development Master Plan took about 8 years to clear with all the Indian Bureaucracy and the Bangalore North Master Plan stalling with a history of 5 failed governments over 4 years in Karnataka more than explains the malaise clearly beyond any ones control.

I also did a legal check they have been in the same place Vancouver for the last ten years. There’s no lawsuits on record with Royal Indian Raj except the one with the fired media guy Bill Zack out of New York and that's on line and clearly outlines what Mr. Zack is trying to do on line with his allegations/frustrations and theft of confidential customer and shareholder lists to which he sends information. The lawsuit by RIRIC is for Slander, Liable, defamation of Character, Theft of Confidential Data lists and other Proprietary Matters etc and the people helping Zack .It seeks damages in excess of 100M(USD).

A police check was done in Canada and in India they came out clean. I also tried to contact some of the compliant authors and many remain anonymous and aren't even shareholders or customers. I cant say that about DLF which has over 3000 lawsuits, Unitech with over 2200 lawsuits and mounting and Prestige in Bangalore with hundreds of law suits alone with there recent building issues including collapsing of buildings resulting in the entire top management getting arrested last week.DLF market cap went from 38B(USD) to 7B(USD) in less then 15 months with Unitech suffering a similar fate. So remaining private and having only ONE lawsuit with a fired disgruntled employee over here doesn't look to bad it actually tells me a story of how clean these people are.

Its pretty clear from my investigation that the Benjamin's and Royal Indian Raj are caught in the Indian and Karnataka Government bureaucracy nothing more and are the victims of a western individual who worked as the media director at RIRIC quarterbacking a misinformation campaign this last 7 months trying to defame there name and assassinate there character and trigger refunds among the customer base actually depriving customers of there profits. I also have found documented history of large land assemblies in Bangalore and other parts of India including Mumbai over there ten years as pioneers in the Indian Real Estate Sector both on-line, from the Government of India and from there lawyers including ownership of the RGV site by the principals. Its easy to see on a Google Search of there name under Royal Indian Raj International Corporation many recorded achievements including the Royal Garden City development in 2003/2004 as well the Indian Government giving them the 1st Foreign Direct Investment approval in the Integrated Township sector in 2004. That’s even on the Indian Government website. I even went to the Zack site and found plagiarized press releases with dates different from the actual Royal Indian Press releases on Google and on their company sites. Zack is also using his friend Mike Malette mentioned in his site whos quoting on this site.In light of this I went from negative to positive as its clear there’s a play to tarnish the firms’ image and its founders with a bad case of sour grapes.

Finally the people I contacted at the firm are more then straight forward and put me thru to the relevant Government ministers and senior people who have been diligently working with Royal Indian Raj including the Chief Minister of Karnataka and the Chairman of BIAPPA who have more than satisfied my inquiries regarding RIRIC’s application and the status of the Govt.s stalled Masterplan in Bangalore North. Royal Indian even shared with me binders of Due Diligence Documents evidencing there entire ten year history and all the contracts signed it is very well presented. The initial 17 acres is to be expanded to a larger land assembly on the Government Master Plan finalizing which makes perfectly good sense who would do other wise with out permissions. There are even other Royal Indian land assemblies in Bangalore north which are legally documented as alternatives. As well I was given names of many people who sought refunds and were paid out. It is only recently that the unprecedented recent world wide events resulting in 10 trillion in losses in USA alone among the biggest firms in the world including Freddie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Bill Zack misinformation campaign disseminated to RIRIC customers/shareholders/alliance partners that the firm has postponed retirement of the handful of refunds until the site permissions get in and structured finance is placed on the site. That makes sense as well Bill Zack doesn’t want the firm to get permissions and build the project.

So I am excited with the Times of India articles reporting what the Benjamin's and Royal Indian Raj have been saying all along about permissions and hanging projects. The Bangalore North Master Plan has been signed and is going to be notified in the papers and passed to law in Jan and the RGV project gets provisional permissions automatically. The project will be sold out on approvals and with the opening of the New Bangalore Airport in June after an 18 year journey with the Government of Karnataka. Land values have skyrocketed in the vicinity and so has my investment so after waiting this long seeking a refund makes no sense on a substantially sold out project where I actually have an appreciating asset and am making money. Soon Bangalore north is to become what Gurgaon is to New Delhi.

In my opinion Royal Indian has been bang on. On there pronouncements and there reporting on the market hang ups and Government position regarding the delays has been accurate and I thank them for there co-operation.

Royal Indian Raj International Corporation launches multi-million dollar lawsuit against against former Vice President of Communications, William Zack for print and internet liable.

VANCOUVER, Apr. 22 /CNW-AsiaNet/ --




Royal Indian Raj International Corporation (RIRIC) announces today a $100M
USD lawsuit for Slander, Liable and Defamation of Character against RIRIC
former Vice President of Communications William Zack. The suit was filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The RIRIC lawsuit, initiated in May of 2008 in New York, alleges that Mr.
Zack stole proprietary information, confidential data and contact lists from
RIRIC then, waged a slanderous smear campaign against the company in North
America and India. RIRIC alleges that in or around March 2008, Mr. Zack used
various fictitious anonymous aliases to communicate misinformation about
RIRIC’s business to the public through postings on unethical websites and
through a direct interview with a Canadian newspaper which was then later
excerpted by the Times of India newspaper. He also used the stolen lists to
communicate directly with shareholders, customers and alliance partners. RIRIC
contends this damaged the RIRIC trade mark, caused millions of dollars in
financial loss and a huge loss of client goodwill.

The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Zack misled RIRIC's principals and the public
to believe that delays in developing the inaugural Royal Garden City Project
and the Royal Garden Villas & Resort in Bangalore, Karnataka
(www.royalvillasandresort.com) resulted from mismanagement at RIRIC as opposed
to India’s notoriously bureaucratic land development process, specifically the
delay of the[protected] Bangalore Regional Master Plan (approved only in Jan
30th, 2009) and India’s government upheavals. India has seen five failed
governments collapse in Bangalore since 2004. These factors have delayed
developments for over 400 Indian real estate developers in the vicinity,
including RIRIC. Mr. Zack also claimed that RIRIC exaggerated its developments
and wrongly used celebrity endorsements. RIRIC vigorously maintains that both
claims are invalid and untrue. In addition to filing the lawsuit in US courts,
RIRIC intends to prosecute Mr. Zack in India under Indian criminal law.

"Not only is this campaign un-factual and unethical, it has harmed our
company and its principal's reputation as a leader in the Indian Realty sector
under the Indian Government's Integrated Township program, " states RIRIC
Chairman; Manoj Benjamin. "Court systems provide legal ways for dispute
mediation and regretfully, Mr. Zack opted to air his grievances against us
through this online smear campaign. Annoying someone anonymously via the
Internet, through a website or even by email; however is a federal crime with
stiff fines and prison time. And beyond being illegal, this is a great shame.
Our business practices remain and always have been transparent and sound."

Mr. Zack's grievances began in November 2007 when he filed a lawsuit with
RIRIC and the company, in turn, filed one against Mr. Zack. Negotiations failed
and when an arbitration date at a Colorado court was set for February 2008, Mr.
Zack did not appear. In February 2009 his lawsuit against RIRIC in British
Columbia was dismissed, and yet his online defamation campaign continues.

Mr. Benjamin states that whilst this campaign was designed to hinder and
harm RIRIC's operations, development and sales in India, the company remains
focused, growing and strong. Soon RIRIC will be clearing permissions from State
and Central authorities not only on the inaugural Royal Garden Villas & Resort
project but larger projects including a new affordable housing project and a
special economic zone (SEZ).



"As pioneers in the Indian Realty sector we always predicted the real
estate market would open and thrive. Presently India's real estate market lacks
regulation and is therefore highly unstructured, disorganized and far more
challenging than anything that has been encountered in the West. Despite this,
we have held in there patiently with India's archaic permissions process and
weathered political resistance. We have loyal investors and now with
permissions being granted on the Royal Garden and Villas Township we are going
full throttle ahead. We are proud of our endeavors in India; one of the world's
most economically vibrant nations for real estate. We remain committed to its
growth and to providing housing for this nation for many years to come."
Royal Indian Raj International Corporation cleared by British Columbia Securities Commission after employee internet liable campaign VANCOUVER, April 15.




British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) enforcement staff have closed their investigation file on Royal Indian Raj International Corp.


In October 2005, the B.C. Securities Commission commenced an investigation, but despite diligent and exhaustive work 2005- April, 2010 by lead investigator David Martin, the case was never approved for prosecution.

"At the end of that process we concluded that there was insufficient evidence to sustain allegations". I hasten to add that there was much internal debate on this point and that in no way were decisions made in a hasty or cavalier manner.

 BCSC investigations manager Bob Abrams April 20, 2010.
Another bull post from a Benjamin hiding behind a false "Concerned Investor" name. Nice try Manoj, everywhere you look on the net, find a complaint and you can find Manoj claiming to be someone "not related to the Benjamins" posting his bull lies of how all these "disgruntled" investors are wrong.

Read a real story backed up by a real newspaper.
