THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.512 of 2001 JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy) This writ appeal is filed against the order dated 19.01.2001 in W.P. No.17487 of 1992 whereby the learned Judge disposed of the writ petition with directions to the respondents to consider the representations of the appellants keeping in view of their long standing possession of the quarters in question. 2. Heard Sri Elisha, learned Counsel for the appellant and Sri A.Sudershan Reddy, learned counsel for respondents 1 to 9. 3. The appellants have been in occupation of low income group houses constructed by the appellant-Gram Panchayat under a housing scheme. Prior to their occupation, they applied for allotment of the quarters by paying earnest money deposit. The appellants were allotted the quarters in the year 1974, in pursuance of which they have occupied their respective quarters. The respondents pleaded that the appellant issued a notification for the purpose of sale of houses for a consideration of Rs.5,431.55 Ps, to be paid in 30 annual instalments. Their grievance is that though they have continuously paying the prescribed instalment amount, the appellant has been seeking to evict them from the houses in their respective occupation. Therefore, they filed W.P. No.17487 of 1992. 4. In the counter affidavit filed by the appellant, it is, inter alia, stated that the respondents have been residing in the quarters as tenants by paying Rs.15/- per month, which was enhanced to Rs.40/- per month from time to time. The appellant also denied the claim of the respondents that they have paid major portion of the instalments due. The appellant, therefore, asserted that as the respondents failed to pay the instalment amounts, they are not entitled to retain the possession of the quarters. 5. The learned Single Judge took note of the fact that as the quarters, which were constructed for staff of the Gram Panchayat, were un-occupied, they were allotted to the respondents on rental basis and observed that though they do not have vested right for allotment, in view of their long standing possession, the appellant may consider their cases for allotment of quarters in an out-right sale basis. The learned Single Judge thus disposed of the writ petition by permitting the respondents to make appropriate representations and directing the appellant to consider the same in their true spirit, keeping in view the observations contained in the order in the order. 6. When the writ appeal came on the previous occasion Sri A.Sudershan Reddy, learned counsel for respondents took adjournment for getting appropriate instructions, on the willingness of their clients to pay present market value of the quarters in their occupation. Today at the hearing, the learned counsel for the respondents submitted that their clients are willing to pay the present market value of low income group quarters. In view of this fair submissions, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ appeal with a direction to the appellant to consider their offer and take appropriate decision thereon, within a period of three months from today. The respondents are permitted to file their representations in this regard and on receipt of such representations, the appellant shall dispose of the same within the above stipulated time. Till such time the representations are not disposed of, the respondents shall not be evicted from the quarters in their occupation. 7. Subject to the above observations, the writ appeal is disposed of. No costs. _________________________ JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI. ___________________________ JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY. 16-2-2009 I s L – K s H
