Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of directing the respondents to pay the eligible vacation salary, during the entire service period, to the petitioners in case the same has not been granted so far in view of the judgment of this Court in Baldev Singh versus State of H.P. & ors, on production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition(s) and a copy of the judgment, referred to above, by the petitioner(s). If the amounts are not disbursed, as above, the petitioners will be entitled to interest @ 10% and the officers responsible for the delay shall be personally liable for the same. 2.
