Rajendra Construction Company vs Maharashtra Housing & Area Development ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, which set aside the decrees of the Civil Judge in favor of Rajendra Construction Company (RCC) regarding claims for additional payments under the Maharashtra Housing & Area Development Act, 1976. The Court emphasized that RCC's claims were not valid as they failed to comply with the mandatory provisions of Section 173 of the Act, which requires a notice for settlement of claims. Consequently, the Court ruled that RCC's appeals were not maintainable, affirming the High Court's judgment and dismissing RCC's claims for additional amounts.
