Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) under Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which directed the Agra Development Authority to refund the entire amount deposited by the appellant, except for the non-judicial stamp paper, along with interest at 9% per annum from the date of the complaint. The Court emphasized the obligation of the developer to deliver possession within the stipulated time and the right of the consumer to seek redress for delays and deficiencies in service. The appeals were partly allowed, affirming the NCDRC's order for refund and interest.
