Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for GAD. It is the case of the petitioner that he was allotted quarter No.MC- 127 vide the aforesaid government order and in spite of making several requests, the 2nd respondent is not handing over possession of the said quarter to him. On 25.4.2008, when the matter came up for admission, this Court directed the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. Today, the learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that the quarter which was allotted to the petitioner was now in the custody of the Estate Officer, the 2nd respondent herein and he is temporarily running the office there and that he is willing to hand over the said quarter by the end of May, 2008. Alternatively it is also submitted that the petitioner may be given an alternative accommodation instead of the quarter which is in the custody of the 2nd respondent. As the petitioner was already allotted the quarter vide the aforesaid G.O. dated 10.4.2008, there is no necessity to allot any alternative quarter to the petitioner. In view of the submission made by the Government Pleader that the 2nd respondent is willing to hand over possession of the quarter by the end of this month, he is accordingly directed to hand over possession of the property by the end of May, 2008. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.02.05.2008 msv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1 Govt. of A.P., General Administration ( Accom.
