BIHAR STATE HOUSING BOARD vs ASHA LATA VERMA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the Bihar State Housing Board's demand for outstanding dues related to a MIG flat, emphasizing that the Board could not re-determine the price after possession was delivered. The Court affirmed the legal principle that once payment is made in full, subsequent demands for additional payment are unjustified. The appeal by the Board was dismissed, maintaining the order for transfer of the flat to the respondent's daughter-in-law and directing a vigilance inquiry into the Board's officials' conduct.
