THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No. 16495 of 2011 ORDER: None appears even today though the matter is directed to be posted `for judgment’ on 15.9.2011 as none represented on behalf of the petitioner. This writ petition is instituted seeking a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents herein not to proceed further to evict the petitioner from the quarter and disconnect electricity and water facilities for the quarter under his occupation. The petitioner was employed with the respondent – Singareni Collieries Company Limited (for short hereinafter referred to as `SCCL’) as a Record Assistant in Singareni Collieries High School established at Godavarikhani by the respondent company. He has been dismissed from the service of the SCCL on 16.4.2005. It is stated that he filed WP No. 18291 of 2005 before this Hon’ble Court challenging his order of dismissal and as the said writ petition was pending, the impugned action of the respondents in seeking to evict him from the quarters under his occupation was unjust and unfair. On the last occasion, the learned Standing Counsel for SCCL Sri Pattabhi Rama Rao has pointed out that this court rendered judgment in WP No. 18291 of 2005 on 20.8.2011 dismissing the said writ petition. In that view of the matter, the relationship of `Master and Servant’ between the writ petitioner and the SCCL which has been terminated gets approved. The petitioner has no right of any manner to continue in occupation of the quarter under his occupation. The facilities of providing housing accommodation by allotting quarters is only to help the employees to concentrate effectively and discharge the duties instead of being bothered by the necessity to look for private and alternative accommodation. Since the relationship has been successfully brought to an end and since the order of dismissal has not been interfered with by this court in WP No. 18291 of 2005 instituted by him, the petitioner has no right of any manner to continue to occupy the said quarters. Further occupation of the quarters would be detrimental to the order of discipline which the SCCL expects from its work force. Secondly, it will cause an unnecessary strain on the employer to make available another quarter to deserving employee. Further, there are such other infrastructural facilities that are provided to every quarter in the form of supply of electric energy, drinking water and drainage. Possibly, even at a subsidized price. Such facilities cannot be extended to a former employee. Thus, looked at from any angle, there is no justification for the petitioner to continue to occupy the quarter. However, the petitioner has been granted time till 17.10.2011 for vacating and for handing over the vacant possession of the quarters under his occupation to the respondent. If the petitioner fails to deliver vacant possession of the quarters by 17.10.2011, it is open to the respondent – SCCL to take such steps and measures as are available under law for securing his eviction therefrom. With this, the writ petition stands dismissed. No costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 16th September 2011
