The grievance of the petitioner pertains to allotment of official quarters. It is contended that overlooking his entitlement for allotment of quarters, the second respondent was preferred by the first respondent and it is also contended that such allotment is liable to be interfered by this Court. The petitioner has approached the first respondent by filing Ext.P5 representation. Counsel for the first respondent submits that the Company has laid down relevant criteria for allotment of quarters, and under that criteria, seniority is not the only factor to be taken note off. In the nature of the order, I propose to pass, notice need not be issued to respondent No.2. 2. Since Ext.P5 representation is pending with the first W.P.(C)No.8734/2007 :2: respondent, it would be proper that the petitioner is informed of the position based on the above criteria, so that, he will know where he stands as far as his entitlement for allotment of quarters is concerned. 3. The writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 and send appropriate reply to the petitioner, as early as possible, in any event, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
