RAMULU W.P.No.18529 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing respondents 2 and 3 to consider and dispose of the petitioner’s applications before allotting Quarter No.19-3-1028/3, Aliabad Water Tank, Hyderabad to any other employee. During the pendency of the Writ Petition, this Court passed an interim Order dated 19-4-2000 directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the said quarter, since no notice was given to him before the quarter was allotted to third person. Now it is more than 9 years since the date of filing of the Writ Petition, no purpose would be served by going into the validity or otherwise of the Order passed by the respondents allotting the quarter to a third person. However, this Order will not preclude the authorities from putting the petitioner on notice and passing appropriate orders, if any necessary, at this length of time. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 01-5-2007 prk
