Can you buy the government quarters you lived in during service? Gujarat high court answers TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Jul 13, 2026, 11:33 (IST) The Gujarat high court ruled that retired government employees have no right to government quarters. A case filed by an association president was dismissed by the NEW DELHI: The Gujarat high court, in its order dated July 6, has ruled that a person has no legal right to demand that government quarters be sold to him after retirement, or to continue occupying one, simply because it was allotted to a family member during their government service. Doshi dismissed a long-running case filed by the president of an employees' association who was himself not a government employee, and who was found to be living in a quarter that had originally been allotted to his retired mother.

In that case, Solanki had asked the court to declare that people living in the colony — homes built for Class-IV government workers — could not be thrown out, according to the court order. He further asked the state government to sell these homes to the residents at a low price, like it had done for some other government colonies before.

Telangana Pocso accused, wanted for slaughtering 6, found dead after 60-hour manhunt HYDERABAD: POCSO accused found dead after killing spree that claimed teen complainant, her family, his own wife and 2 sons HYDERABAD: After a 60-hour manhunt for POCSO case accused Raj Kumar, who was wanted for allegedly murdering six people, including three children, police found his body in Panjarla village under Kothur mandal in Ranga Reddy district on Monday afternoon. Confirming the development, Future City police commissioner Tarun Joshi said Raj Kumar's body was found with a bottle of pesticide lying nearby, leading police to suspect that he died by suicide. At a time when Future City police were conducting an extensive search for Raj Kumar but had no credible leads, they reportedly received a Dial-100 call from a local villager informing them about the body of an unidentified man lying inside a real estate venture. When the local police reached the spot, they were shocked to discover that the deceased was Raj Kumar, the man they had been searching for over the past two-and-a-half days. After the information was conveyed to senior officers rushed to the spot and began an investigation. On Friday night, Raj Kumar allegedly went to the residence of a 16-year-old girl whose family had lodged a POCSO case against him in May. Police said he killed the girl's mother and grandmother before forcibly taking the teenager away in his car. Investigators said he drove the girl to a nearby lake, where he allegedly stabbed her to death.

DHCBA announces work suspension after Delhi HC accepts proposal to raise district courts' pecuniary jurisdiction

DHCBA announces work suspension after Delhi HC accepts proposal to raise district courts' pecuniary jurisdiction The Delhi High Court Bar Association (DHCBA) on Monday called for work suspension on Tuesday in view of the Delhi High Court's administrative decision to recommend enhancement of the pecuniary jurisdiction of the district courts from ₹2 crore to ₹10 crore. Following an emergent meeting, the DHCBA's executive committee said that the increase in the pecuniary jurisdiction of the district courts in Delhi would have serious adverse consequences for its members. The enhancement would result in reduction of cases by 70 percent before the Original Side, it claimed. "The Executive Committee is of the view that the proposed enhancement would have far-reaching ramifications on the justice delivery system and would also substantially affect the practice, livelihood and professional interests of a large number of members of the Delhi High Court Bar Association." Thus, the DHCBA asked its members to extend their full cooperation to the work suspension call in the collective interest of the bar. "The cafeteria, bar rooms and other facilities will remain closed," it said in a notice to the members. Last week, a Division of the High Court had declined to halt presentation of the pecuniary jurisdiction report prepared by a committee of judges before the full court. The report was prepared by a committee of seven judges constituted to consider a proposal to increase the pecuniary jurisdiction of district courts from ₹2 crores to ₹20 crores. Following the presentation of the report, the full court is reported to have accepted a proposal to raise the pecuniary jurisdiction of the district courts from ₹2 crore to ₹10 crore.
