The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol,J. For the appellants :Mr.R.K.Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr.Ankush D. Sood, Addl. A.G. Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) CMP (M) No. 1500 of 2010 Heard. The delay has been sufficiently explained. The application is allowed. LPA No.332 of 2010 Sobha Ram was engaged as Beldar on daily wage basis w.e.f. 1.1.1992. He completed 10 years’ uninterrupted service on 1.1.2002, but, however, his services were regularized only w.e.f. 12.4.2007. 2. Learned Single Judge in terms of judgment dated 9.3.2010 passed in CWP (T) No.499 of 2008, titled as Sobha Ram vs. State of H.P. and others, has directed the respondents to consider the case of Sobha Ram for conferring work charge status/ regularizing him from the due date, in case 2 sanctioned posts were available. This is to be done with all consequential benefits. 3. Reliance has been placed on the decisions rendered by the Apex Court in Mool Raj Upadhyaya vs. State of H.P. and others, (1994) Supp. (2) SCC 316 and State of H.P. and others vs. Gehar Singh, (2007) 12 SCC 43. 4. We find no infirmity in the impugned judgment and the directions issued therein. The ratio of law laid down in Gehar Singh (supra) has to be applied to the facts and benefits accorded, if found due and admissible. 5. Thus we do not find any ground to interfere in this appeal, which is accordingly dismissed. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice 5th July, 2011 (Justice Sanjay Karol) (C) Judge.
