Huda And Anr vs Sat Pal And Ors on 5 February, 2018

On the other hand, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the plaintiffs/respondents has submitted that since the defendant HUDA had been wrongly insisting upon payment of the amounts along with 18% compound interest, therefore, the demand itself was beyond the authority of the defendants. Therefore, notices issued by defendant No. 2 were in excess of their authority and so in violation of the procedure prescribed by the law. It is further argued by him that, even the notices issued by defendant are totally stereo type issued in a mechanical manner, without disclosing anything as to the details of payments on account of principal and the interest components. Learned counsel has also argued that, bare fact that the defendants had shown a staggering increase in amount in short durations also shows that the amount sought to be charged by them does not have any 10 of 24 ::: Downloaded on - 03-03-2018 23:23:57 ::: RSA No. 2879 of 2009(O&M) 11 statutory backing and they have been raising the demand in an arbitrary manner. Learned counsel has also argued that the notice under Section 17 (3) of the HUDA Act was never received by the plaintiffs. Therefore, the subsequent proceedings under Sections 17(4) and Section 18 of the HUDA Act are totally violative of the procedure prescribed by the Act. Regarding the judgment relied upon by learned counsel for the appellants, the learned counsel for the plaintiffs/respondents has submitted that the same is not applicable in the facts of the present case because in that case the procedure under the Act was followed by the authorities and in that case the plaintiffs had not paid any substantial amount after the payment of the initial amount pursuant to the notices issued by the defendants. Whereas in the present case there is violation of the statutory procedure and also the plaintiffs in the present case had made payment of Rs. 6,35,000/- in installments from time to time which were duly accepted by defendant without protest. However, since the defendants were not giving clear cut calculations regarding the principal and the interest outstanding against the plaintiffs, despite being so demanded by the plaintiffs, therefore, the insistence of the defendants upon the amount calculated by them was totally arbitrary and not supported by any statutory provisions under which defendants were functioning. Accordingly, learned Senior counsel submits that the substantial question of law framed by the Court deserves to be answered against the appellants/defendants. Civil Court has rightly entertained the suit. The judgment and the decree passed by the Courts below deserve to be upheld.
