Case Note & Summary
The case involved an appeal by the Haryana Urban Development Authority against an order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The dispute arose from the allotment of a Nursing Home site to the respondents in Gurgaon, initially at Rs.2,145 per square yard, followed by an offer for an alternate site at Rs.3,606 per square yard. The respondents accepted the alternate site without prejudice and subsequently filed a complaint. The District Forum ordered that the alternate site be provided at the original rate and directed the adjustment of a deposit made by the respondents towards future installments. The State Forum upheld this decision, leading to a revision petition by the appellants, which was dismissed by the National Commission. The Supreme Court noted that the National Commission's order was issued without proper consideration of the execution proceedings and was thus flawed. However, it upheld the execution orders from the lower forums as correct and dismissed the appeal, stating that the earlier orders had become final and required no interference. The court concluded with no order as to costs.
