The substantive matter was settled by the District Consumer Forum on 13.5.2006. In terms of the order of District Consumer Protection Forum, the petitioner was required to pay Rs. 71,337/- after deducting of Rs. 29,090/-. The Housing Board was paid Rs. 42,277/- by the petitioner after deducting Rs. 29,090/- but it appears that the Housing Board returned Rs. 29,090/- on the mistaken believe that Rs. 29,090/- was to be returned to the petitioner in terms of the order of District Consumer Protection Forum.

¶17

The petitioner received cheque of Rs. 29,090/- on 27.9.2006. However, the said amount was returned to the Housing Board on 11.6.2013. The petitioner kept Rs. 29,090/- of

the Housing Board from 27.9.2006 to 11.6.2013 and as such the petitioner is liable to pay interest for the aforesaid period.

¶20

Since there is fault on the part of the Housing Board as well and as such in the present proceeding in order to scale justice the Court deem it fit and proper that in the totality of facts situation it would be appropriate that petitioner may pay Rs. 29,090/- in order to settle the entire disputes as to the payment of interest over the amount of Rs. 29,090/- which remained with the petitioner from 27.9.2006 to 11.6.2013.

¶21

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with direction to the petitioner to pay Rs. 29,090/- in lieu of interest on keeping the amount of Rs. 29,090/- for the period 27.9.2006 to 11.6.2013 within one month and on receipt of the aforesaid amount the Housing Board is obliged to issue no dues certificate and thereafter take steps for execution of registered deed within a period of three months from the date of issuance of no dues certificate as indicated hereinabove.
