Property details of KG Balakrishnan's family members

The following are the property details of ex-Chief Justice of India KG Balakrishnan’s family members. Most of these were acquired during the period Balakrishnan was CJI. Most of these properties were also bought at seemingly undervalued rates when they were purchased in 2007 and, later in 2008-09. While two of the properties were bought at one-sixth the price, the ex-CJI’s son-in-law purchased properties for a fraction of the valuation of the time.
