Verma, Dy.A.G. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner has two grievances – i) counting of his JBT service rendered on ad hoc basis for the purpose of increments and pension; and ii) counting of ad hoc/tenure service followed by regular service as Drawing Master. As far as the counting of ad hoc JBT service is concerned, it is now settled law that the same can be counted as qualifying service for the purpose of pension and not for the purpose of increments. As far as the counting of ad hoc/tenure service followed by regular service is concerned, the same is covered in favour of the petitioner by the decisions of this Court in Ravi Kumar versus State of H.P. and others and Sita Ram versus State of H.P. and others. 2. There will be a direction to the second respondent to look into the case of the petitioner in the light of what is held above and take appropriate action within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition by the petitioner. 3. With the above direction, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice August 19, 2011 (Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tilak) Judge.
