Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the contempt proceedings against the Ghaziabad Development Authority for failing to deliver possession of a plot as per the MRTP Commission's order. The Court upheld the Commission's directive for possession and compensation, modifying the interest rate from 18% to 12%. The Court found that the Authority's failure to deliver possession constituted contempt, as the petitioner had complied with all requirements and the Authority's claims of non-compliance were unsubstantiated.
