THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.21578 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Constable in the Central Industrial Security Force (for short ‘the Force’). Up to July 2006, he was working at a Unit in Chennai. Thereafter, he was transferred to the unit at Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, the 1st respondent. On 25-04-2009 he was transferred to the 2nd respondent-unit. When he was functioning at Visakhapatnam, he was allotted a quarter, earmarked for the Force. Since the son of the petitioner was studying at Kendriya Vidyalaya, one-year grace period was granted to him, to retain the quarter. However, he did not shift from that place, even after completion of one year. Through proceedings dated 17-07-2010, the 1st respondent directed disconnection of power supply to the quarter under the occupation of the petitioner, at Visakhapatnam. This was followed by messages, rejecting the request of the petitioner to permit him to retain the quarter, for some more period. Proceedings were also initiated for levy of penal rent. The petitioner challenges the action of the 1st respondent in denying him the facility to retain the quarter. He contends that the Classes IX and X, under the C.B.S.E Scheme, are crucial for any student, and his son is now in Class X. He contends that no prejudice would be caused to the respondents, in case the quarter be permitted to be retained for one more academic year, and submits that the levy of penal rent or disconnection of power supply are contrary to the Regulations issue by the Force, from time to time. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the Central Government. The petitioner was transferred to the 2nd respondent-unit in April, 2009. More than one year has elapsed and still, he did not vacate the quarter at Visakhapatnam. Being a member of a disciplined Para Military Organization, he ought to have complied with the directions issued, from time to time. He is not able to show any rule, order or circular, that enables him to retain the possession of the quarter, at a place from which he was transferred about 1-½ years ago. The quarters are meant to be allotted to the personnel working at the concerned place. This Court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.07-09-2010. KO
