IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11775 of 2002 NAFISA KHATOON, wife of late Md. Suleman, resident of Patna Medical College Hospital Quarter P.S. Pirbahore, District Patna … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. Superintendent Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna … Respondents ----------- 4. 2.7.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. The prayer made in this writ application reads as follows: “(a) To issue a direction of mandamus or quash the order dated 3.10.2002 by which the petitioner was directed to vacate the house it was allotted to the petitioner. (b) To issue a mandamus or direction not to remove the petitioner from the said house.” Admittedly the petitioner has retired from the service long back on 31.3.2000. The petitioner being a Government servant is definitely governed by the Bihar Government Quarter Rules. Such rules do not contemplate retaining of official quarter beyond a period of one month. Realizing this position counsel for the petitioner would submit that the writ application has become infructuous. Counsel for the State would submit 2 that if the petitioner has not vacated the quarter probably anticipating the result of this case she must be directed to vacate the quarter. Mr. Arshad Alam would immediately quip back that the petitioner has already vacated the quarter. That being so, this application is dismissed as withdrawn. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
