The petitioner is working as Pharmacist in the Community Health Centre, Purappuzha. The occupation of a residential quarters by the petitioner was disputed. Ultimately by Ext.P3 order passed on 24.7.2008, the District Medical Officer (Health), Idukki, allotted to the petitioner the quarters presently occupied by her. The said order was passed on the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P2. This writ petition is filed apprehending that the second respondent might cancel the order of allotment made in Ext.P3 at the instance of the third respondent. The learned senior Government Pleader submits that orders have not been passed cancelling Ext.P3 and that the writ petition is premature and founded on mere apprehensions. W.P.(C).24040/2008 2 3. I have considered the submissions made at the Bar by the learned counsel on either side. Ext.P3 discloses that it was passed pursuant to the request made by the petitioner in Ext.P2. If the authorities propose to cancel Ext.P3, it shall be done only with notice to the petitioner and after affording her an opportunity of being heard. I also direct that in the event of Ext.P3 being cancelled, the order cancelling Ext.P3 shall not be implemented for a period of one week, so as to enable the petitioner to work out her remedies. The writ petition is disposed of as above. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge mrcs
