Recently, in Chief Administrator, PUDA v. Shabnam Virk, II (2006) CPJ 1 (SC) = (2006) 4 SCC 74, the allottee had filed an affidavit clearly indicating that she would undertake to abide by all the terms and conditions of allotment letter and the amount indicated therein for allotment of a house. There was nothing to show that the increase was possible only when there was increase in the cost of construction. It was held by this Court that the allottee was liable to pay amount as stipulated in the allotment letter. It was observed :
"It is to be noted that the respondent herself had accepted in the undertaking that she accepted the allotment of the house and undertook to abide by all the terms and conditions of the allotment letter. It is not in dispute that in the allotment letter the figure as demanded has been reflected. That being so the respondent was liable to pay the amount as stipulated in the allotment letter.
As there is no dispute that the respondent had in fact filed an affidavit clearly indicating that she undertook to abide by all the terms and conditions of the allotment letter, the amount indicated in the allotment letter was the amount in respect of the allotment of the house. We find nothing in the quoted clause to show that the increase was possible only when there was an increase in the cost of construction. The clause quoted above does not reflect any such intention of the parties.
27. In our considered opinion, the State Commission as well as National Commission ought to have considered all these aspects . Even if they were of the view that after the amendment of the Act in 1993 and in the light of inclusion of 'housing construction' within the meaning of 'service' in Clause (o) of Section 2(1), the Commission had jurisdiction to deal with and decide dispute relating to deficiency in // 11 // service under the Act which included the issues raised, it was obligatory on them to consider whether the controversy raised in the proceedings with regard to fixation of price would be justiciable on the facts and in the circumstances of the case, particularly in the light of contentions raised by the Board that there was increase in plinth area, ground area and payment of enhanced compensation to land owners. The were also required to consider that the Board does not have land of its own and the land was acquired under the Land Acquisition Act by paying compensation determined in accordance with the provisions of that law. The Commissions also could not ignore the fact that when the advertisement was issued for the purpose of registration of intending purchasers of flats, they were clearly intimated that the price shown was merely a 'tentative price'. Again, when the scheme was altered the intending purchasers were informed that the price was tentative and they would have to pay price finally determined by the Board. They consented and entered into an agreement by giving any undertaking that they would pay the price determined by the Board. When the question of giving possession of flats came up, the Board informed them to pay the remaining amount so that possession could be delivered to them. They made such payment and obtained possession. It was, therefore, contended by the Board that the allottees were stopped from raising the contention that additional amount could not have been recovered from them. It was open to the allottees not to pay the additional amount demanded by the Board and not to take possession. By agreeing to pay the amount and by paying such amount and taking possession, now they want to go to behind the concluded contract between the parties. In our considered opinion, all these questions were required to be gone into by the State Commission as also by the National Commission. The orders passed by the Fora, are, therefore, liable to be set aside."

Commissioner & Anr. (Appeal No.506/2009), vide order dated 22.06.2010, Eksa bl vk;ksx }kjk ;g fu/kkZfjr fd;k x;k gS fd%& "8. We are of the view that the dispute regarding price of the house cannot be termed as consumer dispute. Now it is very well settled by the Hon'ble National Commission, in a catena of cases that such dispute does not amount to consumer dispute. In the case of National Consumer Awareness Group (Regd.) Vs. Housing Commissioner, Punjab Housing Development Board, III (1997) CPJ 88 (NC), the National Commission was of the view that "The price is determined by the Board in accordance with the procedure evolved by it and there is no statutory control over the fixation of the price and the same cannot therefore be interfered with. The pricing of flats built by the public authority or plot developed by the authorities is not a consumer dispute." The question was again considered by Hon'ble National Commission in the case of Kartar Singh (supra) and after taking into consideration, the pronouncement of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of DDA Vs. Ashok Kumar Bahl & ors., 2002 (7) SCC 135 and also other pronouncements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, on the subject, including Premji Bhai Parmod & Ors. Vs. DDA, 1980 (2) SCC 129, it was held that it is by now settled law that Consumer Fora cannot go into the question of 'pricing', it also does not amount to 'consumer dispute' as per law laid down by the National Commission, in earlier cases.
9. Learned District Forum has taken into consideration the case of Kartar Singh (supra) and rightly come to the conclusion that question regarding pricing of house or flat cannot be determined by Consumer Forum, being not a consumer dispute."
