High Court rules enhanced plot charges illegal if original plot was lost without fault
What happened
A division bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court declared that the Haryana Urban Development Authorities' demand for enhanced charges from a former Army officer was illegal. The court found that the authorities failed to disclose litigation affecting the original plot when it was transferred to the officer. The ruling stated that an allottee deprived of their original plot without fault cannot be arbitrarily charged an additional price for an alternative plot.
