IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 11777 of 2006 Dated 26th June, 2006 Between N.Kesiya ….Petitioner And The Inspector General, CIBF, South West Sector Head Quarter, RCF Chembur, Mumbai and ors. …Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 11777 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner, who is working as constable in Central Industrial Security Force, has filed this Writ Petition seeking Writ of Mandamus, to direct the respondents to permit him to retain quarter No.112/A at CISF Complex, Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, Visakhapatnam for one more academic year 2006-2007. It is the case of the petitioner that his children are studying in various schools in Visakhapatnam and there are no facilities at Ranchi, for which place he was transferred, for his children to continue studies. As such, it is stated that, the petitioner may be permitted to continue his family members in the same quarter and if the petitioner is not allowed to retain the quarter, he will be put to inconvenience. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Counsel appearing for the respondents, that the constables are eligible for A-type quarters and about 157 personnel are in the waiting list for allotment of quarters. The petitioner was transferred as early as on 20-5-2005. Though he was transferred more than one year back, still he is continuing in the quarter. In view of the submission of the learned Counsel for the respondents that number of persons working at Visakhapatnam are in the waiting list for allotment of quarters, I do not find any valid ground for issuance of directions as prayed for. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. --------------------------------------- JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATE: 26-06-2006 Msnr.
