Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the allotment of residential plots under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Authority Act, 1995 is subject to the terms outlined in the brochure and letter of intent issued to applicants. The Court held that the forfeiture of earnest money is valid if the successful applicant fails to deposit the required amount within the stipulated time or does not refuse the offer within the specified period. The judgment emphasized the binding nature of the terms agreed upon by the applicant, affirming the authority's right to enforce these conditions.
