Housing Foundation

Petitioner was allotted a house by the Housing Foundation, however, upon the petitioner's failure to make the due payment, the petitioner's allotment was cancelled and the same house was allotted to another member of the Housing Foundation

Contention of the petitioner was that in other similar cases, High Court had granted relief to defaulting civil servants upon payment of additional charges, therefore, the petitioner be given the same relief

Validity

Relief granted to other defaulting allottees was in cases where the property had not been re-allotted, and such cases were therefore, different

Eligibility and entitlement of the petitioner to be given a residential accommodation upon allotment at a subsidized rate, however, still survived and at best the petitioner could be faulted for not making the requisite payment on time for which she was willing to deposit additional markup

High Court directed the Housing Foundation, that upon payment by petitioner for the price of the house available for allotment, the petitioner's name be placed in the queue of senior allottees so that the petitioner may be provided a House within a period of six to eight months

Constitutional petition was disposed of accordingly.
