Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the registration fee paid by the respondent for a housing scheme constituted a binding commitment for allotment by the U.P. Housing and Development Board. The court emphasized that the registration does not guarantee allotment or compensation, as per the terms outlined in the registration booklet. Ultimately, the court upheld the Board's position, affirming that the respondent had no enforceable right to claim a plot or house based on the registration alone.
