Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the orders of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum and the subsequent commissions, affirming the direction to the Ghaziabad Development Authority to rectify defects in a house allotted to the respondent, Urmila, as per the engineer's report. The Court found no merit in the Authority's claim of unjustified directives, noting that it failed to present evidence to counter the respondent's claims. The Court also addressed the issue of interest awarded to the respondent, clarifying that the delay in payment of installments by the respondent did not absolve the Authority of its responsibilities regarding the defects.
