Manjul Srivastava vs Govt. Of U.P. & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission, affirming that the Ghaziabad Development Authority did not engage in 'unfair trade practice' as defined under the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. The Court noted that the appellant, Mrs. Manjul Srivastava, was not an 'allottee' since she was unsuccessful in the draw for the plot, and thus her claim for possession and compensation was dismissed. The ruling clarified the legal interpretation of 'allotment' and the obligations of the GDA under the scheme.
