Judgment text excerpt

The Delhi High Court, in a Public Interest Litigation regarding Chavan Rishi Apartments, held that no case for interference under Article 136 of the Constitution was made out, particularly due to findings of forgery and fabrication in the sale deed by the original purchaser, Rati Ram. The court noted the Legislative Assembly's committee report recommending stringent action against those involved in the forgery. The court rejected the argument for protection under Section 41 of the Transfer of Property Act for the buyers, emphasizing the need for vigilance among builders and purchasers. The Special Leave Petitions were dismissed and interim orders vacated.
