The petitioner worked as a Head Master in the Government School. Though he retired from service on 30.6.2004, he is not vacating the quarter. He made a representation to the 1st respondent stating that his wife underwent hysterectomy operation and therefore he may be continued for a period of four months in the said quarter. Accordingly, permission has been accorded with a specific direction to vacate the quarter on or before 31.12.2004. There is no right for the petitioner to remain in the quarter since a reasonable opportunity for retention of the quarter beyond 27.10.2004 is considered and sanctioned by the 1st respondent. There is no violation of any right of the petitioner whatsoever. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is dismissed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ___________ 29.12.2004 bsv To 1. The Principal Secrtary to the Government, General Administration (Accommodation), Government of A.P., Secretariat, Hyderabad 2.
