THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE B M SHYAM PRASAD ORAL ORDER The petitioner is in employment with the Department of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Revenue Department and his representation is for allotment of residential quarters in Jeevan Bheemanagar. The petitioner was before this Court in WP No.10169/2007 [LB-BMP] for directions for allotment of residential quarters calling in question certain office orders. This Court has intervened quashing the orders calling in question therein directing the Committee constituted for allotment to consider the petitioner's request. However, that may be besides the point because the petitioner's present - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:33397 WP No. 24795 of 2025 grievance stems from an application filed by him in the month of June 2025 for the allotment of a particular premises in No.A105/2. In answering the petitioner’s grievance and request for mandamus, Mrs.Navya Shekhar, the learned Additional Government Advocate, places on record a compilation of documents in support of the respondent’s case that; [a] in terms of the applicable rules, the petitioner cannot insist upon the allotment of a particular quarters, [b] another employee has filed an application on 12.03.2025 much before the petitioner to whom the quarters insisted upon by the petitioner is allotted, [c] the petitioner requests for an allotment in the first floor contending that he is specially abled and he has to support his parents - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:33397 WP No. 24795 of 2025 who are aged 80 years and 75 years respectively, [d] the petitioner is currently allotted quarters in No.120/2 which is also in the first floor. This Court opines that the afore circumstances show the petitioner's grievances are addressed and therefore the petition stands disposed of without intervening. SD/- (B M SHYAM PRASAD) JUDGE SA ct:sr
