This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking direction upon the first respondent, Tamil Nadu Housing Board to grant her six months time to vacate the house bearing door No.B60/5 of the Government staff quarters situated at Race Course Colony, Madurai. 4. At the very outset, we wish to point out that it is not known as to under what circumstances, the petitioner, who was the 10(a)(i) employee, was granted allotment in the year 2014. To our knowledge, the rules do not permit the temporary employee for allotment of quarters and the Government employee only after the successful completion of the probation shall be entitled to file an application for grant of allotment of a Government quarters and application will be maintained in order of seniority. 5. The petitioner was appointed as 10(a)(i) candidate on 24.06.2013 and was able to secure an allotment of a Government quarters on 02.05.2014. At this juncture we hold that the petitioner cannot continue to occupy the Government quarters. 6. For the above reason, while dismissing the writ petition, we grant four weeks time from the date of receipt of a copy of this order to the petitioner to vacate the premises and hand over the vacant possession of the quarters. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
