The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition has been filed by Karimgula Damodar assailing the inaction of the respondents more particularly 4th respondent, on his representation dated 6.8.2007. The petitioner is the son of Laxmikantham who was an allottee of LIGH Quarter No.7-1-63 on rental basis by the Adilabad Municipality in the year 1957. The Adilabad Municipality issued notification in 1969 inviting application for allotment of LIGH Quarter on hire purchase basis from the then existing tenants. In pursuance of the said notification, the petitioner remitted Rs.125/- and continued to be in occupation of the Quarter No.7-1-63. The Government issued Memo No.483/D2/776, Housing dated 28.10.1977 whereunder necessary instructions were given to the Director of Municipality Administration, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. The Municipal Council in its General body meeting held on 31.12.1985 has resolved to allot LIGH Quarter No.7-1-63 in favour of the petitioner. He paid 20% of sale price of the Quarter No.7-1-63 vide receipt No.1191/A1/69 dated 21.10.1986. Thereafter, the Municipal Council resolved to collect the remaining 80% of sale price amount of Quarter No.7-1-63 along with interest. The Chairperson, Municipal Council, Adilabad, recommended for consideration of all the cases including the case of the petitioner for allotment of quarters on hire purchase basis. The Municipal Commissioner, Adilabad has also submitted latest occupancy report. According to which, the Quarter No.7-1-63 is in the occupation of the petitioner. The petitioner paid E.M.D of Rs.125/- as per notification issued and the Municipal Council Adilabad has approved the occupancy of the Quarter No.7-1-63 by the petitioner. The petitioner submitted a representation to consider the allotment of quarter in his favour. But the same remained un-attended. Hence, the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled for allotment of the quarter in his possession in view of G.O.Ms.56 Housing dated 28.10.1989 and accordingly, representation has been submitted by him on 6.8.2007 and the same remained unattended. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondent Nos.3 and 4 to consider the representation of the petitioner submitted on 6.8.2007 and pass appropriate orders with regard to allotment of the quarter No.7-1-63 said to be in his occupation, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of the order.
