As per the case facts, a development authority appealed a High Court judgment that had set aside the authority's demand for additional payments from plot allottees, which was based on ... resolutions and government orders. The allottees argued the policy was unfair. The question arose whether the development authority's policy decision to demand additional amounts from plot allottees was unfair, unreasonable, or arbitrary, especially when considering public interest versus personal interest. Finally, the Supreme Court allowed the appeals, reversing the High Court's decision. It affirmed that the authority's policy decision was reasonable and based on relevant factors, and reiterated the principle that public interest takes precedence over private interest in such matters.
