Chief Administrator Puda And Another vs Mrs. Shabnam Virk

The Supreme Court upheld the National Consumer Redressal Commission's decision that the respondent was entitled to purchase the flat at Rs.6.3 lacs instead of Rs.7.44 lacs due to established delays in possession and lack of proof for price escalation. The Court emphasized that the price quoted was tentative and subject to change, as stated in the terms of the scheme and allocation letters. The ruling reinforced the principle that consumers are protected against unjustified price increases when delays occur in delivery of services.
