Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the terms of the allotment letter govern the payment obligations of the allottee, Laxmi Nath Misra, under the Uttar Pradesh Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Act. The Court ruled that the High Court's direction to waive interest on delayed payments was not justified, as the allotment clearly stipulated the payment terms, including interest rates for overdue amounts. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders dated 4.11.2008 and 29.7.2009, reinstating the original payment obligations as per the allotment letter.
