The Lucknow Bench of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court directed to create post in development authorities to redress public grievances and pay damages or compensation or take decision with regard to payment of interest in case the land or plot is not delivered immediately after deposit of cost by the allottees

Para 110.

“However, keeping in view the startling revelation and plight of peoples like the present one, facing high handedness imparted by the development authorities, it shall be appropriate that to secure public interest, the Government may be directed to consider to create appropriate post or forum in development authorities, and there should be an officer having been authorised to deal with the public grievances and pay damages or compensation or take decision with regard to payment of interest in case the land or plot is not delivered immediately after deposit of cost by the allottees. Ordinarily in case after deposit of cost of plot or land, if possession is not delivered within three weeks consumers must be paid interest.”
