Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the Ghaziabad Development Authority's failure to fulfill its obligations under the Uttar Pradesh Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973. The Court upheld the findings of various forums that the Authority was guilty of unreasonable delay and directed the refund of amounts paid by claimants with interest, ruling that such terms in the brochure were unconscionable and violated Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court affirmed the entitlement of claimants to compensation for mental agony and clarified the conditions under which interest could be awarded.
