Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pay the eligible vacation salary, during the entire service period to the petitioner 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, which has become final, within a period of four months from the date of production of the copy of this judgment 2 alongwith a copy of the writ petition and copy of the judgment, referred to above. If the amounts are not disbursed as above, the petitioner will be entitled to interest @ 10% and the officers responsible for the delay shall be personally liable for the same.
