Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directing the Indore Development Authority to hand over possession of a plot to the respondent, contingent upon payment of the outstanding amount with interest. The Court emphasized that the respondent's failure to deposit the required amount as per the terms of the allotment led to the cancellation of the allotment, but the High Court's order restoring the allotment was binding. The Court clarified that the respondent must comply with the payment terms to regain possession, reinforcing the principles under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, particularly Section 12.
