R.P. Sethi, J.—The appellant applied for the allotment of a plot measuring 350 sq. mtrs. under the Scheme of “Indrapuram” and paid registration amount of Rs. 42,000 / - on 28.7,1989. A further sum of Rs. 63,000/- being the reservation amount was paid and the plot allotted to him vide letter of the respondent authority dated 5.11.1989. The first instalment of Rs. 76,125/- was paid by him on 16.8.1990. Further instalments during 1990-95 were not paid allegedly on the ground that “the respondent authority had not made any development at the site. The appellant further stated that he was made to believe that the possession of the plot would be handed over to him by the year 1991. Vide letter dated 28.2.1995, the appellant was informed that if the balance amount is not paid by him by 30.5.1995, interest would be charged on the balance amount due. The appellant’s contention is that in terms of the aforesaid letter the interest, if any, can be charged for the period commencing from 30.11.1995 and not earlier to it. He had already paid a total sum of Rs. 5,74,993/- but the respondents were allegedly wrongly insisting for the payment of an additional amount of Rs. 2,34,127/- before
