Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the Bareilly Development Authority's (BDA) decision to increase the price of flats under the Kusumanjali Scheme, originally advertised under the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973. The Court held that the BDA had the authority to amend the pricing based on actual costs, as stated in the allotment letters, and that the allottees were bound by the terms of the agreement. The Court upheld the BDA's decision to charge enhanced prices and the imposition of interest for delayed payments, affirming the High Court's ruling.
