V.N. Bharat vs D.D.A. & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under the 1985 Sixth Self-Financing Housing Registration Scheme, the appellant's failure to pay the fifth installment within the stipulated time constituted a breach of contract, as outlined in Clause 10 of the Scheme. The Court emphasized that the issuance of a demand letter is a prerequisite for payment, and the DDA's failure to provide timely notice was a significant factor. Ultimately, the Court upheld the DDA's decision to issue a show-cause notice for non-payment, affirming the contractual obligations of the appellant under the Scheme.
