CWP No. 2990 of 2016 25.11.2021 Present: Mr. Ashok Sharma, Advocate General with Ms. Ritta Goswami, Additional Advocate General, for the petitioners. Mr. Rakesh Kumar Dogra, Advocate, for the respondent. In the present petition, challenge has been made to the judgment dated 17th December, 2015, passed by the erstwhile H.P. Administrative Tribunal, Shimla, in TA No. 4598 of 2015, titled as Chaman Lal versus State of Himachal Pradesh & others. The Tribunal in the aforesaid judgment has relied upon judgment dated 18th December, 2012, passed by this Court in CWP 5900 of 2010, titled as Shyam Lal versus State of H.P. & others. The writ petition filed by Shyam Lal was allowed on the ground of discrimination, by citing the instances of Nika Ram and Murari Lal, who were engaged after the petitioner and were granted relaxation in the artificial breaks for non-completion of 240 days in two years out of eight years and were regularized. In response to the pointed query by this Court, the learned Additional Advocate General sought time to find out whether the judgment in Shyam Lal’s case, supra has attained finality or it was challenged before the Division Bench, and if so, with what fate.
