2023:PHHC:060612 CWP No.8969 of 2023 -2In view of table attached with Rule 13, in case of death of an allottee, the permissible period of retention of residence is for one year(extendable up to three years in case where the deceased officer/official or his/her dependent does not own a house in Union Territory, Chandigarh, Mohali or Panchkula).
