Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's decision affirming the Single Judge's order that the Rajasthan Housing Board acted arbitrarily in denying the respondent a house allotment despite his eligibility. The Court emphasized that the Board's discriminatory practices violated principles of fairness and equality in public housing allocations. Consequently, the Board was directed to allot a house measuring 40' x 60' to the respondent within two months, reinforcing the importance of non-discriminatory practices in housing policies.
