Bihar State Housing Board & Ors vs Asha Lata Verma

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision in CWJC No. 11753 of 2007, which quashed the Bihar State Housing Board's demand for Rs. 3,64,419/- from the respondent for a flat, asserting that the Board was not entitled to re-fix the price after possession was delivered. The Court emphasized that the entire payment had been made in 144 installments and supported the High Court's directive for a Vigilance inquiry into the Board's officials. The appeal by the Board was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings and orders.
