BHANU WRIT PETITION NO : 6322 of 2005 ORDER: For directing the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioners and alienate the quarters in their favour, in which the petitioners are residing, the present writ petition is filed. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the petitioners are residing in the Government Quarters, as per G.O.Ms.No.54, dated 07-07- 1993 for the last 10 to 20 years, and they are not in a possession of any house and therefore, a direction may be issued to consider their case. 3 . On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader for Roads & Buildings opposed the same on the ground that the alienation is governed by the Government orders issued from time to time. 4. The petitioners are seeking innocuous relief for considering their case on par with the others, who were allotted some residential quarters and vacant site. According to the learned Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings, the case of the petitioners has to be determined in accordance with the Government Orders issued from time to time by the 1st respondent-Principal Secretary, Department of Transport, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. 5. Therefore, without going into the merits of the case, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioners to file a representation before the respondents. On filing of such representation, the same shall be considered by the respondents in accordance with the Government Orders in force. 6. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ March 25, 2005 KVR To 1 The Principal Secretary, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Transports Road & Buildings, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The District Collector, Hyderabad, Nampally Station Road, Hyderabad. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Golconda, Hyderabad. 4 The Estate Officer, O/o Supdt.
