As per case facts, four retired senior army officers, including Brig. Jetley, were in a fifteen-year long dispute over flat allotments in Som Vihar, managed by the Army Welfare Housing ... Organisation (AWHO). Brig. Jetley's initial seniority was reduced due to delayed payment, which he challenged. Sri Dahiya was allotted a flat and paid for it but faced possession delays due to stay orders from other litigants. Sri Gupta's allotment was cancelled, but he secured court orders for reservation. Sri Khandpur also claimed a flat based on an arbitration award. This complex situation involved numerous conflicting court orders and applications, leading to multiple appeals before the Supreme Court. The question arose regarding how to fairly allocate the available flats among the claimants, considering their original seniority and the various interim orders and judgments issued by different courts over the years, ensuring an equitable resolution. Finally, the Supreme Court, after considering the facts and various orders, directed the allotment of Flat No. F-305 in Som Vihar to Sri Dahiya, Flat No. C-306 in Som Vihar to Sri Jetley, a flat in Noida to Sri Khandpur, and a flat in Faridabad to Sri Gupta. The Court noted that Sri Jetley's and Sri Dahiya's seniorities were legitimately restored, while other claims were often based on factual misapprehension. All related writ petitions, suits, and contempt petitions were terminated, with each party bearing their own costs.
