Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the allotment of flats in Som Vihar by the Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) to retired army officers, specifically Brig. D.K. Jetley and others. The Court held that the AWHO's decision to cancel Jetley's allotment due to delayed payment was illegal, reaffirming the principle that seniority and allotment must be based on fair and transparent criteria. The Court directed that four available flats be allotted to the deserving officers, resolving the long-standing dispute among them.
