This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare G.O.Rt.No.2356, GAD (SB.1), dated 30.05.2011, issued by respondent No.2, cancelling the accommodation allotted to the petitioner-association without providing any alternative accommodation and allotting the same to respondent No.3 as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner also sought for a direction to the respondents not to evict it from the premises in Garage No.5, near ‘L’ block in Secretariat without providing any alternative accommodation to it. At the hearing, there is no representation for the writ petitioner. I have heard learned Assistant Government Pleader for GAD, representing respondent Nos.1 and 2 and perused the record. The petitioner is an association comprising as its members the twin cities Andhra Pradesh Government drivers. On 08.12.2000, Garage No.5 from the Out-gate of the Secretariat was allotted to the petitioner, inter alia, subject to the conditions that the allotment is purely temporary; that the petitioner shall vacate the same as and when it is required by the Government without seeking any alternative accommodation; that the allotment is made only for the purpose of office room; that the same shall not be used for any other purpose; and that, if it comes to the notice of the Government that the room is being misused, the allotment will be cancelled without assigning any notice. By the impugned G.O., the Government has cancelled the said allotment order on the representation submitted by the General Secretary of A.P. Secretariat, Raj Bhavan and Assembly Government Drivers Association-respondent No.3 herein in order to provide accommodation to the members of the said association. In the affidavit, filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that even though respondent No.1, vide his letter No.14/Accom.B/87-2, dated 19.01.1987, and respondent No.2 through memo of the even date allotted alternative office accommodation to certain Services and other associations at basement floor of the new Government complex, the same benefit is not extended to the petitioner so far. In the counter-affidavit, it is, inter alia, stated that as sufficient space is not available in the Secretariat premises for providing alternative accomodation to the petitioner- association and there are security problems to allot accommodation to the outside associations in the Secretariat premises, the impugned G.O. was issued. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for GAD, representing respondent Nos.1 and 2, fairly submitted that respondent No.1 is prepared to provide alternative accommodation to the petitioner-association at an appropriate place outside the Secretariat premises. This submission of the learned Assistant Government Pleader is placed on record. The petitioner is permitted to make a suitable representation to provide an alternative accommodation to it outside the Secretariat premises within a period of two weeks from today and within one month thereafter, respondent No.1 shall provide an alternative accommodation to the petitioner-association outside the Secretariat premises. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.25975 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is dismissed and W.V.M.P.No.3483 filed by respondent Nos.1 and 2 is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 19th October 2011 DR
