IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 852 of 2008 (S/S) Ramesh Raturi S/o Shri N.D. Raturi R/o S.R.T. Campus, Badshahi Thaul, Tehri Garhwal. …………………..Petitioner. Versus State of Uttarakhand and others ………..……..Respondents. Sri S.C. Bhatt and Sri D.N. Sharma, Advocates, present for the Petitioner. Sri J.P. Joshi, Advocate, present for respondents no. 3, 4 and 5. Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents no. 2 to 5 not to dispossess the petitioner from Quarter No. D/4, situated in Swami Ram Tirth Campus Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, Badshahi Thaul, Tehri Garhwal. Brief facts of the case are that petitioner is a Class III employee of Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University and posted in Badshahi Thaul, Tehri. Though he was entitled to type III quarters, but due to scarcity, earlier he was given type IV quarter. On retirement of one Mr. P.D. Thapliyal, Quarter No. D/4 fell vacant and the petitioner was allotted said quarter. Consequently, he vacated the Class IV quarter, earlier occupied by him. It is stated that thereafter respondent no. 6 Sudama Lal insisted that Quarter No. D/4 be allotted to him and now the authorities are dispossessing the petitioner from Quarter No. D/4 and he would be on the road, as he had already vacated the Class IV quarter. In the circumstances, having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri J.P. Joshi, learned counsel for respondents no. 3, 4 and 5, this Court is of the view that this writ petition deserves to be disposed of summarily, directing the respondent no. 5 to decide the representation of the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is summarily disposed of with the observation that petitioner shall make a representation within a period of one week to the authority concerned for redressal of his grievances and such authority shall decide the same within a period of one month from the date certified copy of this order is produced before such authority. Till such decision the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the quarter allotted to him. (Interim Relief Application No. 5408 of 2008 also stands disposed of). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.)
