MANJUL SRIVASTAVA vs GOVT. OF U.P.

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. The Court noted that the appellant, Mrs. Manjul Srivastava, was not considered an 'allottee' since she was unsuccessful in the draw for allotment of a plot, despite having deposited the required fees. The Court dismissed the appeals, reinforcing the Commission's findings regarding the lack of allotment and the refund process.
