New Delhi, July 8

Noting that homebuyers were being defrauded across the country, the Supreme Court on Monday emphasised the need for a uniform builder-buyer agreement.

“Buyers are being defrauded by builders all across and that is why the need for uniformity now,” a Bench led by CJI Chandrachud said while hearing a PIL filed in 2021 by advocate Ashwini Upadhyay.

Upadhyay has contended that a model agreement was needed to ensure transparency and fairness and to restrain builders and agents from indulging in unfair and restrictive trade practices. The Bench posted the matter for further hearing on July 19.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
