Bombay HC Rules Use of Goods as Deemed Acceptance

Bombay HC Rules Use of Goods as Deemed Acceptance

The Bombay High Court recently made an important decision about buying and selling goods.

They said that if a buyer starts using the goods they bought, it means they accept them, even if they later find some problems.

In this case, a company called Godrej bought some steel tubes from another company, Remi.

After using the tubes, Godrej said some were rusty and discolored and tried to return them.

But the court said that because Godrej had already used the tubes, they couldn't reject them later.

The court also said that Godrej can only ask for money to fix any problems, not return the tubes.

This decision is based on a law called the Sale of Goods Act, which says that using goods means you accept them.
