No Ownership Right in Government Service Quarters After Retirement | 12-Week Eviction Notice Required Under Public Housing Scheme : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has ruled that government employees occupying service quarters under public housing schemes acquire no ownership rights, even after 15 years of continuous occupation. Upon retirement, occupancy ceases automatically, and eviction may follow after a 12-week notice period, reinforcing that such accommodation is a privilege tied to service, not a property right.
