BIHAR STATE HOUSING BOARD vs LALIT RAM

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order directing the Bihar State Housing Board to deliver possession of a flat to the respondent upon payment of the balance amount of Rs.68,320, as per the allotment order dated 9.12.1983. The Court emphasized that the Housing Board could not insist on executing the agreement without completing the construction of the flat, which was being used for storage. The Court found no merit in the Board's claim for interest on the unpaid installments due to the incomplete status of the flat, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
