Judgment text excerpt
The appellant challenged a demand for additional costs levied by the Jabalpur Development Authority (JDA) following the purchase of an MIG flat. The JDA sought extra payment based on increased floor area and material upgrades, despite the original fixed price. The Supreme Court reviewed the High Court's decision which had declined to grant relief under writ jurisdiction, suggesting the petitioner approach a civil court instead.
