Regarding Joint Development Agreement


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process for joint owners of land entering into a development agreement with a partnership firm they form. It confirms that all joint owners can enter such an agreement, allowing the firm to develop and sell plots.
