IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 327 of 1999. Decided on: April 20, 2010 R.C. Moudgil and another ….. Petitioner. Versus Union of India …… Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice R.B. Misra, Judge. For the Petitioner : Mr. Subhash Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents: Nemo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The issue raised in this Writ Petition pertains to the claim made by the petitioners for the higher rate of special compensatory (remote locality) allowance. Though the petitioners approached the Tribunal, the Tribunal declined to grant relief on the only ground of delay. But we find that the Tribunal itself had issued general order that similarly situated persons should be granted the allowance. Even otherwise, once a decision is rendered by a competent Forum in one case, a model employer shall not require every other employee to go to the Forum and to seek orders. That will only lead to docket explosion apart from being harassment to the employees. Once an order/ judgment is accepted, either having 2 become final or the competent Authority having decided to abide by the judgment or order at the first stage itself, the employer shall not require all other similarly situated employees to go to the respective Forums and seek orders or judgments. Therefore, we set aside the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal Annexure P-11. It is declared that in case the petitioners are similarly situated as those petitioners referred to in the orders of Central Administrative Tribunal, the petitioners shall not be discriminated and they shall also be granted the special allowance. The needful in this regard shall be done within two months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice April 20, 2010 (Justice R.B. Misra), (rks) Judge.
