Punjab & Haryana HC Rejects Realtor's Plea Over Suspicious 2007 Land Deal
A property dealer named Satish Kumar Saini tried to enforce a land sale agreement from 2007, but the court said no.
The agreement looked fishy because only the last page had signatures, and important details like the sale price were missing on the signed page.
The land was worth about Rs 50 lakh, but the deal was for just Rs 9 lakh, which seemed unfair.
The court also said the dealer didn't prove he paid any money, and the widows he was dealing with said he took advantage of them.
So, the court threw out the dealer's request and didn't make him pay back any money.
The Punjab & Haryana High Court dismissed a realtor's appeal to enforce a 2007 land sale agreement, citing suspicious features and potential fraud.
Only the last page of the three-page agreement was signed, with crucial terms on the unsigned pages.
The court found the deal unconscionable, as land worth Rs 50 lakh was allegedly sold for Rs 9 lakh without explanation.
The plaintiff failed to prove the payment of earnest money, and the court rejected the refund claim.
The defendants, three widows, argued they were exploited and their signatures were obtained on blank paper.
