Tamil Nadu Housing Board & Ors vs Sea Shore Apartments Owners Welfare ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission regarding the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's demand for additional payments from flat allottees under the HIG Scheme. The Court emphasized that the agreement between the Housing Board and the allottees clearly stated that the final cost was contingent upon the outcome of land acquisition proceedings, as per the Tamil Nadu Housing Board Act, 1961. The Court ruled that the Board's demand for additional amounts was not justified, thereby protecting the rights of the allottees under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
