THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 591 of 2006 DATED: 06.01.2006 Between: D.Narasimha Raju. … PETITIONER AND The District Cooperative Officer and others. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner was an employee of the Satyawada Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society Limited, Undrajavaram Mandal, West Godavari District, 3rd respondent herein. He was removed from service through order, dated 19.08.2003. Aggrieved thereby, he approached this Court by filing W.P.No.18677 of 2003. Subsequently, he has withdrawn the same on 08.04.2005, with a liberty to avail the remedy of appeal. The petitioner was provided with quarters belonging to the 3rd respondent- Society while in service. He was required to vacate the same, consequent upon his dismissal from service. He obtained interim orders in W.P.No.18667 of 2003 on 03.09.2003 enabling him to continue in the quarters. With the dismissal of the Writ Petition as withdrawn, the 3rd respondent issued notice, dated 20.12.2005, requiring the petitioner to vacate the quarters. The petitioner challenges the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Cooperation. It is not in dispute that the petitioner ceased to be in service of the 3rd respondent-Society with effect from 19.08.2003. It is axiomatic that an employee has to vacate the official accommodation either on retirement or on being removed from service. In the absence of the same, the employer would be put to hardship, in the matter of providing accommodation to the other employees. Therefore, this Court does not find any basis to interfere with the impugned notice. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. The petitioner is, however, granted time till 31.01.06 to vacate the quarters. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 06.01.2006 Jsu
