RAJASTHAN HOUSING BOARD vs SHIVRAJ SINGH BHANDARI

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 service, thereby mandating the allotment of a house to the respondent within two months. The judgment reinforces the legal principle that public authorities must act without discrimination and adhere to fair procedures in administrative decisions.
