Rajasthan Housing Board vs Ratan Devi

The Supreme Court upheld the NCDRC's decision restoring the District Forum's order for the allotment of a tenement to the respondent, emphasizing that the balance payment of Rs 47,674 was only due upon possession, which was not proven to have been offered. The Court found that the cancellation letter was not adequately served to the respondent, and thus, the appellant was directed to refund the deposited amount with interest. The Court affirmed the compensation of Rs 70,000 and litigation expenses of Rs 11,000 awarded to the respondent, reinforcing consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
