Case Note & Summary
The High Court of Judicature at Madras heard four writ appeals filed by V. Murali Mohan and R. Indira against the Tamil Nadu Housing Board and its officials. The appeals challenged a common order dated 09.03.2023 passed by a single judge in W.P.Nos.19260, 19259, 20612, and 20613 of 2018. The nature of the underlying dispute concerned the execution of sale deeds by the Housing Board, with the appellants seeking relief in connection with properties under the Board's schemes. During the hearing, counsel for both sides informed the court that the amount to be settled by the appellants had been communicated to them through a working sheet provided by the Housing Board, and the appellants had agreed to pay that amount. No further legal arguments were advanced, and the matter was resolved by mutual consent. The court, recording the consensus, directed the appellants to deposit the demanded amount as per the working sheet. Upon receipt of the payment, the Tamil Nadu Housing Board was directed to execute the sale deeds following due procedures. The court emphasized that the arrangement would enable the Housing Board to execute the sale deeds in appellants' favour. The appeals were disposed of accordingly, with no order as to costs.
