H.U.D.A. vs AMARJIT KAUR

The Supreme Court held that interest at the rate of 18% per annum 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 (2004) 5 SCC 65. The Court directed that the Respondent is entitled to possession of the plot without additional claims and that interest at the rate of 12% is sufficient, while also ordering the payment of TDS with interest. The judgment clarifies that it should not serve as a precedent for other cases, reinforcing the need for individualized assessments in consumer disputes.
