CWP No.266/2004 18.11.2008: Present: Mr. Ajay Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional, A.G., for respondents No.1 to 3. Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.4. It is not disputed by the parties that the Rules relating to terms of the working conditions of the Shivalik Cooperative Rosin and General Mills Limited, Gagret, Tehsil Amb, District Una have been framed during the pendency of this writ petition. It is also not disputed by the parties that the petitioner was granted higher salary on the basis of resolutions dated 26.6.2001 and 11.1.2003. The only controversy involved is whether this hike could be given to the petitioner without seeking permission of the State Government under rule 56 (3) of the Himachal Pradesh Cooperative Societies Rules, 1971. In order to mitigate the hardship of the petitioner, on the previous date of hearing, the Court observed that the learned Senior Additional Advocate General may seek instructions whether the salary which has already been enhanced on the basis of two resolutions dated 26.6.2001 and 11.1.2003 could be regularized or not. The learned Senior Additional Advocate General on the basis of the instructions imparted to him by the Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Himachal Pradesh submits that the enhanced/hiked salary on the basis of two resolutions dated 26.6.2001 and 11.1.2003 need not be refunded by the petitioner. In other words, the petitioner has been held entitled to this enhanced salary. 2 Accordingly, in view of the observation made hereinabove, the present writ petition has become infructuous and the same is dismissed having become infructuous. However, if the petitioner is still aggrieved, in any manner, she has absolute liberty to approach the appropriate forum for the redressal of her grievances. There will, however, be no order as to costs. November 18, 2008 (Rajiv Sharma ), J. *Awasthi* 3 RSA No. 20/2005 18.11.2008: Present: Mr. Vikas Rathore, Advocate vice counsel for the appellant.
