 Overruling an earlier order of a single judge, a division bench of the Madras high court has ruled that Nolambur Residents' Welfare Association cannot seek a direction compelling theTamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) to execute a sale deed at a tentative cost, having agreed to pay the final cost as fixed by the managing director of TNHB.

The original petition filed by members of the association-on which the single judge passed an order on September 25, 2008-said the TNHB had issued regular allotment orders to all the selected applicants. The cost was tentatively fixed at Rs 80,000 per ground in 1988 with the TNHB stating the final cost would be determined later, taking into account development charges and escalation in cost.

Challenging this, the association moved the high court, and the single judge declared the order as null and void and granted a permanent injunction restraining the housing board from demanding the final cost.
