Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision to provide an alternate plot at the original price but modified the interest rate from 18% to 9% per annum. The Court reasoned that since the allottee was not suffering any loss or damage due to the alternate plot being provided, a lower interest rate was appropriate. The Court clarified that compensation for mental agony should be limited to cases where actual loss or damage is proven.
