1. The petitioner, by the present petition, seeks a direction to the respondents to allot a Ground Floor Quarter either in Sector-4 or Sector-8, R.K.Puram.

2. This prayer is made in view of the peculiar facts and WP(C)3164 /2017 Page 1 of 3 circumstances of the case inasmuch as the petitioner's wife had suffered a stroke and is undergoing treatment at Mool Chand Hospital and the petitioner thus requires to be close to the said hospital.

3. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that keeping in view the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the respondents are ready to offer Quarter No.0883, Sector-4, R.K.Puram, New Delhi, which is a ground floor Quarter, to the petitioner.

7. Since this order has been passed in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the same shall not be treated as a precedent.
