7. Clearing entitlement to Houses
HRC/1282/13
Plaintiff: R.P.Dhanuka and others, Railway Quarters, Dematagoda
Respondent: Secretary, Ministry of Transport
General Manager, Department of Railway
Director General, Presidential Investigation Unit
This complaint was made against a notice given by the Presidential Investigation Unit to remove
the present occupants of the railway quarters Dematagoda from their houses and give them to
another set of workers. This decision was taken in response to a complaint made to that unit stating
that the allocation of quarters had not been done properly and taking service requirements into
account. It appeared that the Railway Department had inquired into this matter on a number of
occasions. The matter was taken up before the Chairman of the Commission, and the Commission
did not see any illegality involved in the mode of allocation of Houses by the Railway Department.
Therefore, the Commission recommended to hand over those quarters to the Plaintiffs.
