Apartment Buyer’s Agreement

Posted on by Rudrajyoti Nath Ray

The principle laid down in Pioneer Urban Land & Infrastructure Ltd. v.

The following are instances where terms of an Apartment Buyer’s Agreement were found to be oppressive, constituting an unfair trade practice:

'The Last Word' seeks to include not only wise and witty sayings but also curiosities. These words are not of obligation but of delight. I am not alone in my refusal to believe, law is tedious. For all who escaped these percipient eyes, mea culpa maxima. History, after all, has many cunning passages, contrived corridors and issues.
