CHANDIGARH HSNG.BOARD vs GURMIT SINGH

The Supreme Court held that the Chandigarh Housing Board, under the Haryana Housing Board Act, has the authority to set eligibility criteria for flat allotment, including domicile requirements as per Section 74 of the Act. The Court found that the respondent failed to provide adequate proof of domicile, which justified the Board's decision to issue a show cause notice for cancellation of the allotment. The Court upheld the Board's actions, affirming the importance of adherence to eligibility conditions in public housing schemes.
