Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Ghaziabad Development Authority failed to deliver possession of a plot to the petitioner despite multiple payments and a directive from the MRTP Commission under Section 14 of the MRTP Act. The Court emphasized that the Authority's claim of offering possession was unsubstantiated, and upheld the MRTP Commission's order for possession and compensation. The Court found the Authority in contempt for not complying with its earlier order to deliver possession, thus reinforcing the principle of accountability in public authorities.
