IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP (T) No. 16335 of 2008 Decided on: 23rd June, 2011. Tilak Singh. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & others. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Sharma, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. J.L. Bhardwaj, Advocate vice Mr. Naresh Kaul, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G. and Mr. J.K. Verma, DAG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The challenge is to Annexure A-4, whereby the special increment given to the petitioner on account of sterilization operation was sought to be recovered on the only ground that sterilization operation was not conducted during the regular service. But the fact remains that the ad hoc service of the petitioner was followed by regular service. The object behind the policy is to introduce birth control. That object sought to be achieved by the policy has been achieved by sterilization operation and admittedly, though not in regular service, the petitioner was in service. In that view of the petitioner Annexure A-4 is quashed. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 23rd June, 2011. (Justice V.K. Sharma), (tr) Judge.
