Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Haryana Housing Board cannot demand additional price from the appellants after the stipulated 7-year period as per clause 2(w) of the Hire Purchase Tenancy Agreement and Regulation 11(4) of the Housing Board Haryana Regulations, 1972, enacted under Section 74 of the Haryana Housing Board Act, 1971. The Court held that the Board's action to extend the time limit beyond the agreed period was unlawful, thereby upholding the appellants' right against the additional price demand. The appeals were allowed, reversing the High Court's decision.
