The Crux

Contractual clauses drafted by a developer cannot be applied mechanically where delay, unfairness and the statutory consumer framework point to effective relief.

What the Court held

The Supreme Court considered delayed possession, refund and the fairness of builder-buyer terms in a large residential development.

Why it matters

The judgment helps frame remedies and contractual risk in delayed real-estate projects and consumer-facing property transactions.
