*Residential construction is not merely an engineering task; it is fundamentally a legal process. Skipping even one statutory step can lead to serious consequences,* including:
- Stop-work notices
- Heavy penalties
- RERA cases
- Demolition risk
- Buyer litigation
For those planning to invest in, build, or purchase a residential apartment, housing project, individual bungalow, redevelopment project, small builder (non-RERA project), or special township, it is crucial to understand that each stage is governed by various acts, rules, and regulations. This includes construction approval, compliance requirements, drafting of model bye-laws, and adherence to municipal and local development control regulations.

Directors' Criminal Exposure: Immediate Compliance and Defense Planning
Selective Internal Disclosure Under SEBI and Company Law: Directors' Responsibilities and Liabilities
Selective internal disclosure, a concerning practice within companies, involves certain directors or officers being privy to material information while deliberately keeping other board members, especially independent directors, uninformed. This practice undermines corporate governance principles, leading to significant legal liabilities under SEBI regulations and the Companies Act, 2013.
Regulatory scrutiny has intensified due to high-profile cases where independent directors claimed ignorance of financial mismanagement while executive directors possessed complete knowledge of violations. This dual-tier governance structure contradicts board oversight and fiduciary responsibility principles.

The “Right to be Forgotten”, means to delete information from the very source itself. This right empowers people to have their information removed when its purpose is served or it becomes inaccurate. It helps people to control their online presence. Its interpretation varies across jurisdictions, leading courts to devise different remedies.

Cybersquatting is like a land grab in the digital world. Just as opportunists once rushed to claim valuable plots of land, cyber squatters rush to register internet domains that carry brand value, often trademarks, well-known company names, or even celebrity identities.

The idea is simple: register a name before the rightful owner does, and then demand money, divert traffic, or exploit the confusion. While the term sounds almost playful, the damage it can cause is anything but.
