However, without issuance of any notice to the petitioners, the Chandigarh Housing Board rejected their claim for allotment of the said flats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the claim of the petitioners was under consideration, but the same was rejected without granting an opportunity to hear them. The Court stated that it is a settled law that right to housing is a fundamental right under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\">21<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> and held that the petitioners had every right to be considered for allotment of a flat under the 2006 Scheme. Thus, the said order was unsustainable and liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Therefore, the Court allowed the petition at hand and directed Respondents 3 and 4 to consider the claim of the petitioners under the 2006 Scheme or any other appropriate Scheme for their rehabilitation. Further, the Court directed them to pass an appropriate order within two months and ordered a status quo until the order was passed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Rajesh Kumar Giri v.
