Haryana Urban Development Authority vs Raj Kumar Rathi

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the District Forum directing the Haryana Urban Development Authority to deliver an alternate plot at the original price and pay interest at 10% after two years from the date of deposit until possession is given. The Court reiterated that interest at a uniform rate of 18% cannot be granted without considering the specific facts of each case, as established in Ghaziabad Development Authority vs. Balbir Singh (2004) 5 SCC 65. The Court clarified that the principles laid down in the earlier case must be followed in future cases, but this order should not be treated as a precedent due to the unique circumstances of the case.
