Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Competition Appellate Tribunal's finding that the cancellation of allotment was arbitrary and illegal, as the respondents failed to complete construction within the stipulated time and did not communicate progress to the complainant. The Court invoked Section 12-B of the Consumer Protection Act to award compensation, directing the respondents to pay compound interest at 15% per annum on the amount deposited by the complainant. The judgment emphasizes the importance of timely communication and completion in consumer agreements.
