Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of the price enhancement for flats under the Kusumanjali Scheme by the Bareilly Development Authority (BDA) as per the U.P. Urban Planning and Development Act, 1973. The Court held that the BDA's right to amend the estimated cost, as stated in the brochure and allotment letters, was valid, and the final costing could be adjusted based on actual expenses incurred. The Court upheld the BDA's decision to charge interest on delayed payments, affirming that the respondents were obligated to pay the enhanced amount as per the terms agreed upon during the allotment process.
