Orders
Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed the Jharkhand State Housing Board's special leave petition challenging the High Court's order directing payment of 9% interest on earnest money deposits. The Board argued that Regulation 45 of the Bihar State Housing Board Regulations, 1982 limited interest to 5% per annum; however, the Court upheld the High Court's discretionary power under Article 226 to award higher interest as compensation for harassment caused by the Board's actions. The petition was dismissed with costs of Rs. 5,000 in counsel's fee. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
