Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision to provide an alternate plot at the original price, affirming that there was no error in this reasoning. However, the Court modified the Commission's order regarding interest, reducing it from 18% to 9% per annum, as the respondent did not demonstrate any loss or damage warranting higher compensation. The Court clarified that compensation for mental agony is appropriate only when actual loss is proven.
