U R CORRECT REDIFF HAS BROUGHT ABOUT A GOOD ARTICLE THE COURTS IN MANY INSTANCES HAVE SUPPORTED OR FAVOURED THE BUYER BUT the penalty to the builder is a VERY VERY NEGLIGIBLE sum so all in all the purchaser is still the loser and the builder will continue his nonsense Solution instead of Rs 5000 fine, it should be 5 lacs then seee the change just as the traffic police have started imprisoning drunck drivers in mumbai the menace has almost stopped Wake up you JUDGES and be with the times May good sens prevail w dsilva
