THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5773 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was elected as M.L.A. for two terms in the year 1999 and 2004 from Bhadrachalam Constituency of Khammam District and his term expired recently. When he was serving as Member, the petitioner was provided with an accommodation in Quarter No.B-3, NSP Camp Colony, Tekulapalli, Khammam, on payment of usual rent. Consequent upon the issuance of notification for general elections, the Superintending Engineer, NSLBC, O&M Circle, Tekulapalli, Khammam, the first respondent herein, issued proceedings, dated 08.03.1999, cancelling the allotment made to the petitioner and directing to handover the possession of the quarter immediately. The petitioner challenges the same. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for General Administration Department. The allotment of the quarter to the petitioner was to enable him to effectively discharge his functions as M.L.A., while holding the Office. Once he ceased to be M.L.A., there was no basis for him to remain in the quarter. Taking note of this, the first respondent issued proceedings, requiring the petitioner to vacate the quarter. Things would have been different altogether, had the petitioner been serving as Member of Legislative Assembly, at present. That, however, is not so. It is not known as to whether the petitioner is proposing to contest in the election. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of, upholding the impugned proceedings, but granting time till 31st May, 2009, to the petitioner to vacate the quarter, subject to the condition that he shall pay rents regularly and that he shall not undertake any political or complaining activity in the quarter. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dated:19.03.2009. GJ
