Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's review application by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming that the Karnataka Housing Board's actions were in accordance with the terms of the allotment. The Court noted that the appellant's request to change the purchase mode from lease-cum-sale to outright sale was accepted, and the revised allotment was valid. The Court emphasized that the appellant's agreement to register the flat at 81% of the sale price was binding, thus rejecting the appellant's claims for a refund of the remaining amount.
