Tmt. Barvin Begam A, v. Housing and Urban Development Department

ORDER The petition has been filed to direct the 2nd Respondent, namely the Chairman/Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Housing Board, Chennai, to consider and dispose of the petitioners representation dated 05.01.2026, on merits and in accordance with law, within a time frame.

¶2The petitioner made a joint application along with her husband for allotment of a residential plot in online portal under the Middle Income Group Category under the Mullur Satellite Township Scheme issued by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board and also made payment which was duly acknowledged by the respondents. However, due to a clerical omission in the online portal, her husband's name was not reflected in co-applicant column. Later, on 15.10.2025, the petitioner selected Plot No.251 (MIG) and remitted 10% of the tentative cost amounting to Rs.2,89,100/-. Despite compliance of all requirements, the respondents had neither issued the allotment order nor served any rejection or show cause notice to the petitioner. Page3 of 4
