In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with direction to the respondents to apply the said ratio and findings of this Court passed in the said C.W.J.C. NO. 3633 OF 1994 in its order dated 1.5.1995, to consider the case of the petitioners also and grant them all consequential benefits. B.T (J.N. Singh, J.)
