‘One family, one house': HC dismisses plea for second tenement
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has upheld the Chandigarh Administration's policy restricting allotment of tenements to one member of a family, dismissing a petition by Kuldeep Singh who had challenged the rejection of his application under the 1979 Licensing of Tenements and Sites and Services Scheme. A division bench of Justice Anupinder Singh Grewal and Justice Deepak Manchanda noted that Kuldeep's plea for a separate allotment was untenable as his father, Nand Singh, had already been allotted a site in Palsora in 2000. The court relied on voter rolls and ration card records of December 1996, which listed Kuldeep as residing with his father and other family members in Jhuggi No. C-366 at the time of application. 'The rationale behind limiting the allotment to a single member of a family is to ensure equitable distribution of the tenements,' the bench observed, underlining that the city faces a shortage of affordable housing. The scheme defines 'family' to include a person, their spouse, children and dependents, covering even earning sons and daughters. Kuldeep's claim that he had a separate ration card was also dismissed after verification revealed that the card number he cited was issued in the name of another person, Raj Kumar. The court further noted that despite the petitioner's argument that his father had not taken possession of the allotted site, any grievance on that count ought to have been pursued by the father himself. Upholding the Chandigarh Housing Board's stand, the bench stressed that the one-tenement-per-family rule was 'based on sound rationale and does not suffer from the vice of arbitrariness or discrimination.' The verdict comes amid recurring instances where multiple members of a single family attempt to secure separate allotments under the 1979 housing scheme, designed to rehabilitate slum dwellers by providing them affordable tenements.
