Haryana Urban Development Authority & ... vs Smt. Amarjit Kaur

The Supreme Court held that interest at the rate of 18% cannot be uniformly granted in consumer cases, emphasizing that each case must be evaluated based on its specific facts, as established in Ghaziabad Development Authority vs. Balbir Singh. The Court directed that the Respondent is entitled to possession of the plot without escalation claims and awarded interest at 12% on the amount due, while also ordering the refund of TDS with interest. The judgment clarifies that it should not serve as a precedent for future cases, which must adhere to the principles set forth in the aforementioned case.
