Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) is not liable for encroachments on plots after possession has been delivered to the allottee, as per the Haryana Urban Development (Disposal of Land and Buildings) Regulations, 1978, specifically Regulation 5(3). The Court emphasized that the transferees, having accepted the plot and executed the conveyance deed, cannot later claim deficiency in service regarding encroachment or area discrepancies without prior objections. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower commissions' decisions.
