Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the District Forum which directed the respondent to deliver possession of the villa to the appellants without interest on the outstanding amount of Rs.5,13,850/-. The Court emphasized that the respondent's demand for interest at 24% was unjustified given the delay in project completion. The ruling reinforced the principle that consumers are entitled to timely delivery of services as per the agreement, and the respondent's failure to meet this obligation negated their claim for additional charges.
