RAVIKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.30456 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 22nd October, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner challenges Exhibit P4 order by which the District Collector has turned out her request an extension of the time for her to continue in occupation of the official quarters which had been allotted to her when she was in service. Admittedly, petitioner retired from service on 30.4.2008. Therefore, she has no right to continue in occupation of the official quarters. The challenge against Exhibit P4 is therefore not sustainable essentially in view of the fact that respondents had granted six more months time to the petitioner after her retirement to continue in occupation of the official quarters. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner prays for a short time subsequent to 31.10.2008 on condition that petitioner shall surrender the quarters within the extended period. W.P ( C) No.30456 of 2008 2 3. I heard learned Government Pleader also. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to permit the petitioner to remain in occupation of the official quarters referred to in Exhibit P4 for a further period of one month from 31.10.2008 up to 30.11.2008. I record the undertaking of the petitioner that she shall positively surrender the vacant possession of the quarters on or before 30.11.2008. It is made clear that the breach of the undertaking would result in action under the Contempt of Courts Act. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.30456 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) No.30456 of 2008 4
