The petitioners who are working in the High Court were allotted quarters in Peters Colony. Since the Government proposed to demolish Peters colony, Shanthi Colony and Llyods Colony quarters alternative accommodation in the newly constructed building at Tod Hunter Nagar, Saidapet was promised by the Government to the 25 staff members of the High Court, who are occupying the quarters at Peters Colony, Shanthi Colony and Lloyds Colony. The resolution to that effect was passed by the Building Committee of the High Court in the presence of the officers of the Government on 25.11.2022. 2. The complaint of the writ petitioners is that they have not been allotted the quarters as agreed to. But they have been asked to vacate the present accommodation also. 3. When this was brought to the notice of the learned Additional Government Pleader at the hearing on 10.03.2025, the Government has responded stating that if the High Court furnishes the list of those employees -------------------- Page No.: 3 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.33473 of 2024 --------------------------- they will allot the quarters in Tod Hunter Nagar, Saidapet and 24 such accommodations have been reserved for the High Court employees apart from the 15% quarters that is already allotted to the High Court. Out of that 24, three employees have already retired and two of them have expressed their un- willingness to take the quarters at Tod Hunter Nagar. Therefore, the High Court has forwarded a list of 19 employees to the Government in ROC Nos.40381/2022/D4 and ROC.No.67803/2022/D4 dated 14.03.2025. A copy of the letter is also been handed over to the learned Additional Government Pleader today in the open Court. 4. The petitioners in this Writ Petition are occupying the quarters at Peters Colony. The Note of the Deputy Secretary to Government which was produced before us yesterday when the matters were listed shows that the three quarters at Tod Hunter Nagar are reserved for the writ petitioners. The Government will make the allotment of the 19 quartres at Tod Hunter Nagar as per the list enclosed to the letter dated 14.03.2025 referred to supra and also the 3 quarters reserved for the petitioners by treating them as special case. We make it clear that this will not be cited as a precedent. -------------------- Page No.: 4 of 6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.Nos.33473, 33476 & 33478 of 2024 ------------------------------------------------ 5.
