In Brief
Shiv Shankar Darbari sought to modify the Supreme Court's earlier order regarding the sale of a property to Hindustan Petroleum Corporation. The dispute concerned the exact measurement of the property and corresponding sale consideration. While there was a minor discrepancy in measurement, the appellant agreed to accept the lower measurement figure to expedite closure. The Corporation confirmed its willingness to purchase at Rs. 78,352 per square meter. The Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the High Court's judgment, and directed the Corporation to deposit the sale consideration of Rs. 10,37,38,048 plus interest at 9% per annum from June 2014, with detailed directions for property transfer and stamp duty settlement."
