Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission regarding the payment of interest on delayed possession of plots allotted by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA). The Court affirmed the principle that interest is payable on the deposited amount from the date of deposit until possession is offered, citing the Consumer Protection Act. The Court confirmed the reduction of interest rates by the State Commission, holding that the appellant's appeals lacked merit.
