Regarding buildings, the Committee finally recommended that surplus quarters of all the six circles of NSP can be disposed off by constituting the Committee. Accordingly, Government constituted a committee to fix the market value of the quarters outside the security zone of NSP and in all the circles of NSP for disposal. The above committee identified 459 surplus quarters outside the security zone in Ns Dam circle. (EE-4, AE-5, A-72, B-378). 2. In references 3 rd and 4 th read above, the Chairman, Joint Action Committee, NS Dam and the APNGOs Association requested to extend the helping hand in ordering the disposal of Govt., quarters to the occupants in Nagarjunasagar Project area on nominal rate on par with the concession extended earlier in G.O.61, Irrigation and CAD (PW-NSP-1) Department, DT.3.7.2004 and help them to cherish the ambition of acquiring the house (quarters) of their own since they are working there for the past 30 to 35 years without any transfer and settled there only and are due to retire shortly and also keeping in view the policy decision of the Government to provide a house to every Government Employee before retirement as a social security measure. 3. In the reference 5 th read above, the Chief Engineer, Nagarjuna Sagar Project has reported that the said Quarters were constructed 50 years ago on temporary basis. After the construction of the Dam, they were to be dismantled and quarters on permanent basis were supposed to be constructed as per the sanctioned strength of the NS. Dam Employees. No repairs works maintenance etc., to the quarters have been attended to for the last 15 years. The employees residing in the respective quarters spent personal amounts for repairs/maintenance. It is also noticed that some of the quarters which are vacant have collapsed due to non maintenance and are not in living condition and are in dilapidated condition. If the Government takes a decision to dismantle the said old quarters, the dismantling charges will be more than the depreciated cost of the useful material i.e, Doors, Windows. 4. It is also noticed that some of the quarters which are vacant have collapsed due to non maintenance and are not in living condition and are in dilapidated condition. If the Government takes a decision to dismantle the said old quarters, the dismantling charges will be more than the depreciated cost of the useful material i.e, Doors, Windows. 4. The Chief Engineer (Nagarjunasagar Project) has further reported that the cost of the land is Rs.90,000/- per acre and cost of land of each quarter ranges from Rs.9.000/- to Rs.76,000/- and the proposed rates are of Rs.100/- Rs.200/- and Rs.300/-.

Therefore, the market value of Nandikonda village may be considered as Rs.1.00 lakh per acre. The District Collector, Nalgonda also reported that, the Sy.No.70 of Nandikonda Village is the Government land and the quarters are under the control of Irrigation Department and it is not forest land. 6. The Finance Dept., have agreed to the above proposal with a slight alteration i.e. the balance surplus quarters shall the given to other occupants (i.e. other Government Department Employees only). 7. The matter has been further examined and observed that the present proposal is for disposal of surplus 459 NSP quarters at NS Dam, Nagarjunasagar to the present occupants of Irrigation Department and to other Government Department employees and it may not attract the Court cases WPs/SLPs pending in APHC/Supreme Court in confirming the position by referring it to Law Department 8. In this regard, a meeting was held on 21-4-2011 in the Chambers of Minister for PR & RWS with certain group of Ministers and concerned officials and after detailed discussion, it has been decided that the proposal of the Chief Engineer, Nagarjuna Sagar Project can be agreed to duly including allottees (other than Government Employees) who were allotted quarters as per the existing norms at standard rent of Irrigation Department with regard to NSP quarters. 9. 9.

The Irrigation & CAD (Maj.VII) Department is requested to reserve few quarters for future use, if required, out of these 459 quarters. 10. The Irrigation Department/Chief Engineer, Irrigation Department/The District Collector, Nalgonda shall take further necessary action in the matter and ensure that the payment of the cost of quarters is made by the allottees and to credit the amount to the relevant Head of Account and inform the credit particulars to the Government, immediately.” 15. Heard both counsels, perused the record and considered the submissions. 16. Grievance of petitioners is that petitioners are being forcibly evicted from their quarters in which they have been residing for quite some time allotted to them by way of proceedings. It is evident from the record that quarters were constructed for employees, working in Irrigation Department, for completion of Nagarjuna Sagar Irrigation Project. It is also observed that after completion of project, Officers and the Employees, who were residing in quarters, shifted to other places to carry out further works around 1985. 17. On a perusal of material on record, counter-affidavit, Memos, and other documents placed on record, it is apparent that Government Servants of other Departments were allotted quarters on payment of rent and other charges as fixed by department. 17. On a perusal of material on record, counter-affidavit, Memos, and other documents placed on record, it is apparent that Government Servants of other Departments were allotted quarters on payment of rent and other charges as fixed by department. It is not in dispute that even retired Government Servants and dependants of deceased Government Servants were permitted to reside in quarters, in their occupation on payment of rent and such recourse was adopted pending finalization of issue of allotment of surplus quarters. 18. In the present case, petitioners are all public representatives, who were allotted quarters during their tenure. In counter-affidavit filed, it is stated that petitioners, along with other public representatives, were vacated from quarters on 20.03.2013, this averment appears to be contrary as it is submitted by counsel appearing on behalf of petitioners that petitioners have been paying rents regularly and that no dues are pending (as on date today). It is averred in counter-affidavit filed by Executive Engineer, dated 12.06.2012 that petitioners’ case was not brought to the notice of Division Bench in W.P.No.20756 of 2011. 19. A Division Bench of this Court on 01.07.2013 passed the order in W.P.No.20756 of 2011. Respondents in W.P.No.20756 of 2011 are some of the petitioners in this Writ Petition. The relevant portion of order of Division Bench is as follows: “An affidavit has been filed by the respondent No.1 proposing to take firm action for eviction of the unauthorized occupants. In paragraph-11 of the affidavit, it is stated that respondent Nos. 9 to 17 have been evicted from the quarters on 20.3.2013 with the help of revenue and police officials by duly conducting panchanama. In paragraph-12 of the affidavit it is stated that another thirty number of quarters have been identified, in which some unauthorized persons have been residing and it is proposed that action will be taken to evict those persons at the earliest, with the help of the police and revenue officials. According to said respondent, at least two to three months will be taken to complete the eviction. In that view of the matter, we direct the concerned respondent to take steps for eviction in accordance with law and complete the same within a period of three months from the date of communication of a copy of this order. According to said respondent, at least two to three months will be taken to complete the eviction. In that view of the matter, we direct the concerned respondent to take steps for eviction in accordance with law and complete the same within a period of three months from the date of communication of a copy of this order. In paragraph-13 of the affidavit filed by respondent No.1, it is stated that there has been outstanding dues of rupees one crore and during the last five months, an amount of Rs.30.00 lakhs has been recovered. We, therefore, direct the respondents to recover the balance amount within a period of six months in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly closed with the aforesaid directions.” 20. On a perusal of the order of the Division Bench, it is evident that the Division Bench directed the then Principle Secretary, Irrigation and Command Area Development to evict unauthorized occupants from their quarters within a period of three months and that the outstanding dues were to be recovered within a period of six(6) months in accordance with law. It is the case of implead petitioner that in spite of directions of Division Bench no concrete action has been initiated for eviction of petitioners from their quarters. Hence, the inaction on the part of respondents amounts to a contemptuous act. 21. It is evident from the material on record that the quarters were constructed for a specific purpose, the Officers, who were residing, have shifted to other areas. If the Officers have shifted to other areas the quarters would obviously fall vacant. Though it is averred that the quarters are made of brick and mud, it is quite evident from the record that petitioners are still residing as counsel for petitioners placed on record and submitted across the bar that rents have been paid till 1.11.2025. In other words, petitioners are residing in the said quarters, which have been allotted during their tenure as public representatives or any other person on their behalf. It is also the case of petitioners that they made applications for allotment of quarters vide memo, dated 12.7.1999. In other words, petitioners are residing in the said quarters, which have been allotted during their tenure as public representatives or any other person on their behalf. It is also the case of petitioners that they made applications for allotment of quarters vide memo, dated 12.7.1999. The contents of memo, dated 12.07.1999 are as follows:- “The Chief Engineer, N.S.Project, Hillcolony, Nalgonda District is informed that the General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh State Government Retired Employees Association, Hyderabad in his representation cited, has represented the Government to allow the retired employees family m embers of the retired who are in occupation of the quarters on payment of rent to continue in their respective quarters, till a final decision is taken by the Government, on the recommendations of the committed on N.S.Project properties to put to use. 2. The Government after careful examination, hereby order to maintain status-quo till finalization of the committee report. 3. The Chief Engineer, N.S.Project, Hillcolony, Nalgonda District is directed to comply with the above orders of the Government.” 22. On a perusal of Rules for allotment of rent free Quarters in NSLC Camps in the Districts of Nalgonda, Khammam and Krishna came into force on 16-07-1977 with various clauses. The clauses speak of eligibility for rent free accommodation, registration for allotment of quarters, categorization of camps, competent authority for allotment, orders of allotment, Non Acceptance of failure to occupy, vacation of quarters, unauthorized occupation and exchange of quarters etc. These Rules are for the employees of Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal, but not for any other Staff or Officers. A copy of the written instructions have been placed on record by Office of Government Pleader dated 14.10.2025, received from the Executive Engineer, Irrigation Division, Mirryalguda, Nalgonda District.
