The list of offenders includes Sri Lakshmi Gayathri Hotels (Rs 6.16 crore), Aurora College in Nampally (Rs 1.28 crore), Goshamahal Sarna Transport (Rs 43.78 lakh), Sony Centre in Goshamahal (Rs 39.68 lakh), Shameem Sulthana Cloth Mall (Rs 35.27 lakh) and Synfosys Business Solutions (Rs 17.94 lakh).
