Regarding quarter allotment

(Querist) 01 March 2017 This query is : Resolved 
Sir,
My friend working at government sector and he is resident in government quarter since 12 years. Last july 2016 he was changing a quarter type I to type II on fifth floor. But to long step and his father, mother suffering from sugar problem & blood pressure problem. He has decided to go lower floor accordingly he was forward application to Head of unit for considering health problem of his father & mother which were not stay with his but likely to be came. Also his wife suffering from various illnesses and his small child. In view of Head of unit consider his application allotted his 1stfloor quarter after 6 months. After that some union involve in that and pressurize to Head of unit to wrongly allot the quarter of said person. Due to pressure of union after 1 week Head of unit issue cancellation letter to my friend with saying it was mistake to allot the quarter you are not in seniority list and hence you are requested to go for old quarter within a week.
My question is it is any rule to avoid upper situation?
Any legal way to fight them?
Is that possible to one time allotted quarter and a week Head of unit saying it was mistake and request to go your old quarter ?
Kindly guideline to me what will be the next step to avoid such situation.

Allotment of Government accommodation is a privilege not a right that too for the choice quarter. So, no legal remedy. Only authorities can help, as they have the discretion to allot or change residence out of turn to the employee on humanitarian grounds.

The authority should buckle under pressure, of anyone.


Consideration on merits of request is not pressure.


If there are rules on seniority then authority has to look into objection based on rules.


Request the authority again.

You have no right to have an accommodation of choice.

The association has objected, while the officer tried to adjust.

Legally you may not succeed, may try personal approach.
