Tons and tons of requests to be put in front of Mr. Law Minister to implement the Unfair Terms in Contract which has been studied in detail by the Law Commission and published reports vide 103 & 199. If any one can get these to his attention, the fraternity of Construction will survive, otherwise, India will not witness a revolution in Infrastructure for sure...
