NEW OKHLA INDUSTRIAL DEV. AUTH. vs ARVIND SONEKAR

The Supreme Court upheld the MRTP Commission's order directing the Noida Authorities to refund excess charges for plot allotment, emphasizing that the respondent had accepted the terms of allotment, including the rate of Rs.3600 per sq. mtr., as per the allotment letter dated 20th April 1996. The Court clarified that the refund of the registration money in 1995 did not negate the subsequent acceptance of terms in 1996. The holding reinforced the binding nature of contractual agreements in allotment processes under the MRTP Act, leading to the dismissal of the appeal by the Noida Authorities.
