IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. No. 173 of 2011 Date of decision: May 18, 2011 Bhutto Ram Petitioner Versus State of H.P. and 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. A.K. Gupta, Advocate For respondents 1 to 3: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with J.K.Verma, Deputy Advocate General ___________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. Annexure P-4 is under challenge. As per the said order, the petitioner is sought to be reverted on the ground that he does not possess the prescribed qualification as per R&P Rules, namely, pass in 5th standard. But, the fact remains that the petitioner was regularized in service only after around 10 years of service as beldar. The Rules also contemplated provision for relaxation, in terms of equity and justice. In several cases this court also directed the Government to consider the matter. Therefore, Annexure P-4 is quashed with a direction to the first respondent to consider the matter along with the similarly situated persons for relaxation of the educational qualification. 2 The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any.
