Land Sale Agreement Dispute

Summary

If a land sale agreement restricts court action for higher compensation, heirs may still challenge it. Continuous cause of action could be argued, supported by cases like Union of India v. Tarsem Singh and M.R. Gupta v. Union of India. The principle of unjust enrichment, as discussed in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal, may also apply. Potential violations of fundamental rights, such as Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, could be considered if the market value was unfair. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
