Haryana Urban Development Authority vs C.L. Taneja

The Supreme Court held that interest at a uniform rate of 18% cannot be granted in all consumer cases, emphasizing that compensation must be based on specific findings of loss or injury as established in Ghaziabad Development Authority vs. Balbir Singh (2004) 5 SCC 65. The Court set aside the National Commission's order that confirmed such uniform interest awards, stating that each case must be evaluated on its own facts. The Court directed the appellants to deliver possession of the plot and clarified that the respondent is entitled to compensation already paid, with no further payments required unless TDS was deducted.
