Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.DAMODAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondent: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the stage of admission, made the following: ORAL ORDER: The case of the petitioner, who is a physically handicapped person, is that he has been running a bunk by doing job work in the premises of the respondent-Collector, Mahabubnagar, for the last several years. While so, without any notice and opportunity, the respondent proposed to evict the petitioner from the said premises. Aggrieved by the same, he preferred W.P.No.25725 of 2000 and obtained interim order restraining the respondent from evicting the petitioner. The above writ petition was finally disposed of by this court on 9.4.2002 directing the respondent to consider the request of the petitioner for providing some other place if it is feasible to put up a bunk to enable the petitioner to eke out his livelihood by attending to typewriting work, since he is a physically handicapped person. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that during the pendency of the W.P.No.25725 of 2000, the staff of the respondent evicted the petitioner from his possession and demolished the bunk without any notice and opportunity. It is further contended that, pursuant to the orders of this court in W.P.No.25725 of 2000, the petitioner made a representation to the respondent on 5.12.2003, to consider his request for allotment of suitable place within the compound of the Collectorate, so as to enable him for taking up the Xerox and typewriting work. Since no action has been forthcoming from the respondent for provision of suitable place to erect a bunk in the premises of the respondent, the petitioner preferred the present writ petition for a direction to the respondent to allot suitable place in the premises of the Collectorate, Mahabubnagar, for running a bunk. Heard the learned counsel on either side. On earlier occasion, this court while disposing of the W.P.No.25725 of 2000, observed that no elaborate argument is required to show that the occupation of land in the premises of the Collectorate by the petitioners therein would cause inconvenience to those who come to the office of the District Collector for various purposes. It was further observed that the petitioner, being physically handicapped person, the respondent may consider the request of the petitioner for providing some other place if it is feasible to put up a bunk to enable the petitioners to eke out their livelihood by attending to typewriting work. In the circumstances, having regard to the findings made in W.P.No.25725 of 2000, it is made clear that the respondent is at liberty to consider the case of the petitioner for accommodating him in the said premises for running the bunk, on humanitarian grounds, subject to availability of accommodation in the said premises. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. 8.12.2004 CVM To 1.
