    No clear and unambiguous representation or binding policy existed that entitled all eligible retiring FSD officers occupying departmental quarters to allocation under the Scheme on their last application; the absence of prior unsuccessful cases was explicable by allocation mechanics and choices; the alleged expectation was unreasonable and unworkable given fixed annual quotas and CM priority rules; no legal discretion existed to consider individual circumstances under the Scheme; judicial reviews dismissed.
