Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of house allotment for Scheduled Tribes under the Chandigarh Housing Board Regulations, specifically Regulation 25. The Court held that the absence of a Presidential notification under Article 342 for Scheduled Tribes in Chandigarh does not preclude the provision of a minimum reservation of 5% for them, as clarified by the Chandigarh Administration. The Court upheld the trial court's decree favoring the respondent, affirming their entitlement to the allotment despite the administrative confusion.
