The father of Gangappa and Kotrappa came from Haveri to our village. I have not seen said Shararappa. The Hatti family came from Haveri more than 100 years. I knew deceased Gangappa and Kotrappa. Till their death, they live together. The Hatti family had no property in our village. At present Hatti family is owning about 15/acres of land and 2 houses and no open space to the family. The Hatti family is having property at Haveri. There might be a house at Haveri and I do not know whether they have agril. land at Haveri.
