Binay Krishna vs Bihar State Housing Board

The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in recording that the appellant was not interested in the allotment of a plot, as the appellant consistently asserted his interest and the Board did not contest this claim. The Court reinstated the original order of the State Commission, which mandated the Board to pay interest at 18% per annum and compensation, emphasizing the appellant's right to possession. The Court directed the National Commission to reconsider the appellant's application for possession and maintain the original interest rate, thereby upholding the consumer's rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
