D.D.A. vs Krishan Lal Nandrayog

The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the District Consumer Forum and the State Commission, affirming the award of interest at 15% as compensation for the delay in possession of flats under the 5th Self Financing Scheme. The Court emphasized that the interest awarded serves as damages for both monetary loss and mental agony suffered by the respondents due to the delay. The Court found no grounds to interfere with the National Commission's order, which recognized the appellant's liability for the delay in delivery of possession.
