Respondents………..Petitioners. Versus Krishna Nand Mandal sonof Late Roshan Mandal, Ex- Head Typist, under D.E.N.(T) Office, Eastern Railway, Jamalpur, Presently, residing at Rampur Basti, P.O.Jamalpur, District Munger. Applicant … Respondent . ----------- 2. 06.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the impugned order of the Tribunal dated 29th April 2010. The learned Tribunal has accepted the claim of the respondent/applicant and has granted the benefit of full service for the period spent in temporary status and half service for the period prior to temporary status as a casual Labour. The benefit is on the basis of judgment of this Court which followed a decision of Andhra Pradesh High Court against which the Railway Board had moved the Supreme Court but the S.L.P. was later on not pressed. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners has drawn our attention to Annexure-2 and 3 to submit that subsequently the Railways had preferred S.L.P. in similar matters which are pending before the Apex Court. We find that the learned Tribunal has decided the claim of the respondent in accordance with the judgment of this Court and of Andhra Pradesh High Court and hence, we find no good reason to interfere in the matter. The writ petition is, therefore dismissed. Jay/ (Shiva Kirti Singh,J) (Shivaji Pandey, J)
