WP(C) 2581/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I. A. ANSARI Heard Mr. R. Mazumdar, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. D. Neog, lear ned Central Govt. Counsel, appearing for the respondents. The petitioner, while working as Head Constable-Driver with the Central Reserve Police Force (in short, CRPF), has been compulsorily retired on 30.03.2010. Duri ng the tenure of his employment with the CRPF, the petitioner had been occupying residential Quarter No.263/1 at Group Center, CRPF, Amerigog, Guwahati. On the ground that his son had been receiving his education and his wife was sick, the petitioner had earlier asked for retention of the quarter for some time and, in consideration of his request, the respondents had allowed the petitioner to reta in the quarter till 31.3.2011. The petitioner has, however, not vacated the quar ter and he has, now, filed this writ petition, under Article 226 of the Constitu tion of India, seeking issuance of appropriate directions commanding the respond ents to allow him to continue to occupy the quarter or else, resort to the provi sions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the materials o n record, it transpires that the petitioner’s son has been studying in Class-XII and his wife is under medical treatment in the Gauhati Medical College Hospital at Guwahati. On resistance having offered by Mr. D. Neog, learned Central Govt. Counsel, to t he prayer for extension of time, which the petitioner has sought for, this Court , upon query, has noted that the petitioner cannot be allowed to continue to occ upy the quarter for indefinite period inasmuch as it would lead to complications and, in such circumstances, the petitioner can, at best, be given a period of t wo months’ time to retain the quarter. To a query made by this Court, Mr. R. Maz umdar, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the petitioner would vac ate the quarter, in question, if he is allowed a further period of two months’ t ime from today to retain the quarter from today so that he can make alternative arrangement. Considering the matter in its entirety and in the interest of justice, this writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents/authorities conce rned to issue appropriate order allowing, as a special case, a further period of two months from today to the petitioner to retain his said quarter and, on expi ry of the period of two months, which shall commence from today, the petitioner shall forthwith, vacate the quarter. This direction, given by the Court, shall n ot be treated as precedent and shall remain confined to the case at hand. With the above observation and directions, this writ petition shall stand dispos ed of. No order as to cost.
