Ans: In Kavita Kothari v Samriddhi Developers Pvt. Ltd. [7 Sept., 2016 (NC)], the complainant is a purchaser of the property being developed by the builder and landowners on the land provided by the landowners. The complainant sought to purchase two apartments from the builder for residential purpose. Holding that such purchase amounts to 'commercial purpose', the National Commission said: "It has not been explained anywhere as to why the complainant sought to purchase two residential flats. Had the complainant explained in detail that she wanted two flats for her own living, or for living of her close family members, it could have been construed that the purchase was not for a commercial purpose."
