Summary: Ved Parkash Kathuria v. Haryana Urban Development Authority Outcome: The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition on both grounds of delay and merits. The Court upheld HUDA's resumption of the commercial booth (No. 79, Sector 9, Faridabad) allotted to Kathuria for persistent non-payment of 75% of the price despite multiple notices issued between 1998-2000. Key Finding: Kathuria paid only 25% of the Rs. 11.5 lakh price and failed to pay any installments of the balance amount. The Estate Officer properly followed statutory procedure under Section 17 of the HUDA Act, 1977 before resuming the booth and forfeiting 10% of paid amount. All lower courts (trial, appellate, and High Court) dismissed his claims. Direction: HUDA Estate Officer is directed to immediately take possession of the booth and dispose of it per statutory regulations.
