T.Nadu Housing Board vs Service Society & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's lease-cum-sale agreement with allottees under the Low Income Group housing scheme. The Court held that the Board's unilateral fixation of the sale price, as per Clause 17 of the agreement, was arbitrary and lacked transparency, violating principles of natural justice. Consequently, the Court directed the Board to provide a detailed break-up of costs to the allottees, ensuring fair and just treatment under the law, thereby reinforcing the need for accountability in public housing schemes.
