IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
Honourable Mr Justice M.DHANDAPANI
MRS.SEETHA – Appellant
Versus
THE CHAIRMAN – Respondent


Judgement Key Points

Certainly. Here are the key points extracted from the provided legal document:

  • The petitioner, Mrs. Seetha, filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a Writ of Mandamus to direct the second respondent (Tamilnadu Housing Board) to dispose of her representation dated 30.09.2024 and to execute a sale deed in her favor for the property bearing Flat No. LIG-1329, Thiruvalluvar Nagar, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai (!) (!) .

  • The petitioner is the power of attorney of Devagiammal, who was allotted the property under a scheme in Thiruvanmiyur. The allotment was made based on an application dated 11.09.1986, and the property was allotted via a special allotment letter dated 07.05.1987 (!) .

  • Devagiammal executed a power of attorney in favor of the petitioner, who paid installments and fulfilled formalities, but the sale deed has not yet been executed, despite repeated requests and representations (!) .

  • The respondents, represented by the Standing Counsel, explained that the property was allotted under a hire purchase scheme with a tentative cost of Rs.24,000/-. The original allottee paid the initial deposit belatedly and has an outstanding balance of Rs.5,874/- as of 17.06.2025 (!) (!) .

  • The respondents indicated that upon payment of the outstanding amount of Rs.5,874/-, the sale deed would be executed in favor of Devagiammal (!) .

  • The Court, considering the limited relief sought, permitted Devagiammal to pay the outstanding amount of Rs.5,874/- (as of 17.06.2025). Upon such payment, the respondent Board is directed to execute the sale deed after verifying Devagiammal’s identity (!) (!) .

  • The Court disposed of the writ petition without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case and without costs (!) .

  • The order emphasizes that the relief granted is limited to facilitating the payment of the outstanding amount by Devagiammal and subsequent execution of the sale deed, without delving into the substantive merits of the ownership or allotment issues (!) .
