BY ADV. SRI.O.D.SIVADAS RESPONDENTS: ------------------------ 1. THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, PUBLIC WORKS (E) DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM- 695 001. 2. THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM- 695 001. R1 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SHRI.SANDESH RAJA. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No. 5099 of 2011 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 25th day of February, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a peon in the General Administration Department of Government Secretariat, Thiruvananthapuram. She submitted a request to the first respondent for allotting Government Servants Quarters. The first respondent by Ext.P1 order dated 21.6.2010, directed the District Collector to issue formal allotment orders after satisfying all the eligibility conditions. That order was not implemented, despite Ext.P2 request from the petitioner to the District Collector. Again, by Ext.P3, the first respondent directed the District Collector to implement Ext.P1 order. Despite, Ext.P3, the District Collector has not implemented Exts.P1 and P3 orders of the Government, is the complaint of the petitioner in this writ petition. 2. On 17.2.2011, I directed the Government Pleader to get instructions as to why even after repeated directions, the District Collector, Thiruvananthapuram is not implementing the orders of the Government in Ext.P1 & P3. Today, when the matter was taken up, the Government Pleader submits that he was unable to get instructions from the District W.P.(C) No.5099 of 2011 -2- Collector. Insofar as by Exts.P1 and P3 orders, the Government has directed the District Collector to issue formal allotment orders after satisfying the eligibility conditions, the District Collector has a duty to implement the same without delay. More than eight months are already over after passing of Ext.P1 order. That being so, there is no justification for the inaction on the part of the 2nd respondent in implementing Exts.P1 & P3 orders. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to implement Exts.P1 & P3 orders, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
