The Supreme Court upheld the order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directing the refund of Rs. 4,95,000 with interest to the appellant due to the failure of the respondent to deliver possession of the flats as per the agreement. The court emphasized the importance of timely delivery in consumer transactions and the obligation of builders to adhere to contractual terms. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the consumer's right to redress under the Consumer Protection Act.
