Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's decision, which had previously rejected the Trust's complaint regarding the poor quality of flats developed by Unique Shanti Developers. The court found that the Trust had failed to establish a valid claim for compensation due to the dilapidated condition of the flats, which were vacated in 2002. The judgment emphasizes the importance of timely action in consumer disputes and the necessity of substantiating claims with adequate evidence.
