Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission that the Rajasthan Housing Board engaged in restrictive trade practices under Section 2(o)(ii) and unfair trade practices under Section 36-A(1)(i) and (vi) of the MRTP Act, 1969. The Court emphasized that the Board's failure to allot a house within the promised timeframe constituted an unfair trade practice, entitling the complainant to a refund with interest. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Commission's order.
