HARYANA URBAN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs VIRESH SANGWAN

The Supreme Court addressed the obligations of the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) regarding encroachments on plots after possession is delivered, under the Haryana Urban Development (Disposal of Land and Buildings) Regulations, 1978. The Court held that HUDA is not liable for encroachments made after possession has been transferred to the allottee, as the respondents failed to raise any objections regarding the plot's area or encroachments at the time of the sale deed execution. The appeal by HUDA was allowed, overturning the lower commissions' orders that had found in favor of the respondents.
