Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the District Forum directing the respondent to deliver possession of the villa to the appellants against the balance payment of Rs.5,13,850/- without interest. The Court emphasized that the appellants had tendered the payment and that the respondent's demand for interest at 24% was unjustified. The ruling clarified the obligations of parties in real estate transactions under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, particularly in relation to timely completion and payment acceptance.
