IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP(T) No. 4758 of 2008. Date of decision: 31.8.2010. Sunder Singh ….. Petitioner. Vs. State of H.P. and ors. …. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting: For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Additional Advocate General. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner had joined Indian Army on 3.9.1977. It is stated that owing to domestic circumstances, he had to seek leave on extreme compassionate ground to leave the military service after four years nine months and thus he was discharged on 17.6.1982. It is seen that after the discharge, the petitioner joined the Armed Police in the State service on 23.9.1982. It is also seen that selection was against the quota reserved for Ex-servicemen. The petitioner seeks advance increments and counting of service rendered in the Army for the purpose of pay fixation, seniority etc. 2 2. This aspect of the matter is squarely covered against the petitioner by a Division Bench of this court in Shri V.K.Behal and others vs. State of H.P. and others Latest HLJ 2009 (HP) 402, since the petitioner does not have a case that he has been recruited during emergency. In that view of the matter, it has become unnecessary to go into the challenge regarding the classification of Ex-servicemen, as to whether they are discharged on compassionate ground or discharged after their normal term. Therefore, leaving open that contention, this writ petition is dismissed so also the pending application(s) if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. August 31, 2010. (Justice Kuldip Singh), (Hem) Judge.
