The case of the petitioner is that while he was working as CF/HS/II at Secunderabad, he was allotted Railway Quarter No.548/7 RB-I at Chilkalguda by Order dated 14.12.1987 and he occupied the same on 07.01.1988. While so, he was transferred to Ramagundam on promotion as Fitter Gr.II vide Orders dated 25.03.1988 and on 22.06.1988, he sought permission by way of representation from the respondents to retain the said quarter since he was not allotted any quarter at Ramagundam and that he was given assurance by the 5th respondent that his transfer was only temporary and he will be brought back on transfer to Secunderabad within two or three months. While the matter stood thus, he was removed from service on 06.05.1991 and was reinstated into service with effect from 11.04.1994 and was posted at Ramagundam and later transferred back to Secunderabad in June, 1996. Since the punishment of removal from service imposed upon him was modified to that of ‘Censure’, it is the case of the petitioner that he is entitled to back wages for the period during which he was out of service and since the representation submitted by him claiming back wages was not considered by the respondents, he filed O.A before the Tribunal which was disposed of directing the respondents to consider his claim within a period of one month from the date of receipt of that Order. Alleging non-compliance of the Orders in the said O.A., he filed Contempt Petition. Therefore, according to the petitioner, the respondent-authorities in order to take revenge upon him passed orders dated 26.06.2002 for recovery of damage rent from the date of relief on transfer i.e., from 16.06.1988 till he vacates the said quarter at Secunderabad. In the said Order, it was mentioned that the arrears of damage rent recoverable from the petitioner for the period from 16.06.1988 to 30.04.2002 has been worked out to Rs.1,96,318/- apart from Rs.1,666/- per month being recovered with effect from May, 2002 vide regular salary bill. Aggrieved by the same, he filed the present O.A.
