The flat of Rs 80.19 lakh got an award of Rs 1.35 crore, whereas the flat worth Rs 2.18 crore secured an award of Rs 3.82 crore. For the flat of Rs 1.65 crore, the award was Rs 2.87 crore, while For the flat of Rs 2.19 crore, the award was Rs 3.45 crore.

The division bench told the media that it does not find any reason to hold that the awards are infected with patent illegality as alleged. The court said that there is no illegality at all in the awards. The High Court said that the arbitrator did not award any compensation and ordered only a refund of the principal amount with interest.
