IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. No. 6629 of 2010. Decided on 29th November, 2010. Laxman Dass. ….Petitioner. Versus State of HP & others …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the Petitioner: Mr. Rakesh Chandel, Advocate. For Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The writ petition is filed with the following prayer: “(i) That the respondents may very kindly be restrained from retiring the petitioner from 30.11.2010 on his attaining 58 years of age and they may further be directed to continue the petitioner in service till his attaining the age of 60 years i.e. 30.11.2010.” 2. Admittedly, the petitioner was regularized as a Class IV employee only on 25th October, 2005. If that be so, the petitioner has to superannuate from service on attaining 58 years of age since it is very clearly stated in the amendment that all those who are appointed after 10th May, 2001 has to retire at the age of 58 years. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that being a part time employee working since 1988, he should have been regularized earlier. It is also submitted that some of his junior part 2 time employees have been regularized earlier. This aspect of the matter will be open to the petitioner to point out before the second respondent and in case the petitioner is regularized prior to 10th May, 2001, he will be entitled to continue upto the age of 60 years. The needful in this regard shall be done within a period of two months from the date of production of a copy of this writ petition along with the representation by the petitioner before the second respondent. 3. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 29th November, 2010. ( Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tr) Judge
