Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Section 37 of the Architects Act, 1972, specifically whether it restricts the use of the title 'Architect' by unregistered entities. The court concluded that the provision does indeed prohibit unregistered firms from using the title, thereby upholding the integrity of the profession and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. The judgment reinforces the necessity of registration for practicing architects in India.
