LUCKNOW DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY vs SHYAM KAPOOR

The Supreme Court upheld the order of the District Consumer Forum directing the Lucknow Development Authority to allot a developed plot to Shyam Kapoor, who had deposited amounts for a plot under the Gomti Nagar Residential Scheme. The Court rejected the appellant's arguments regarding the complaint being time-barred and the respondent not being a consumer, affirming the jurisdiction of the District Forum under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that the consumer's rights must be protected, leading to the dismissal of the appeal by the Lucknow Development Authority.
