Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the Appellate Authority and Revisional Authority, affirming that the Punjab Urban Planning & Development Authority (PUPDA) could not resume the site allotted to the respondents due to non-delivery of possession. The Court ruled that the respondents were not liable for interest or penalty during the period of non-delivery, as per the principles of fairness and equity. The Court dismissed PUPDA's challenge, reinforcing the finality of the earlier orders restoring the site to the respondents.
