Chandigrah Housing Board vs Avtar Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the Chandigarh Allotment of Land to Co-operative House Building Societies Scheme, 1991, emphasizing the need for compliance with the provisions of the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952, and the Chandigarh Lease Hold of Sites and Building Rules, 1973. The Court clarified that eligibility for land allotment requires societies to be registered and possess sufficient funds, with members being bona fide residents. The judgment confirmed the Administrator's authority to allot land based on the scheme's criteria, reinforcing the legal framework for cooperative housing in Chandigarh.
