WPSB 30/2011 Hon’ble Nirmal Yadav, J. (Urgency Application No. 587/2011, Interim Relief Appl. 644/2011) Mr. Anil Dabral, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. DS Patni, Advocate for the respondents. Heard. Learned Counsel for the petitioners contends that petitioners joined as Junior Engineers in Hill Cadre in the year 1976 and 1977. He further contended that those Junior Engineers, who had given their options for Hill Cadre subsequent to the petitioners in the year 1993 and 1998, have been shown senior to the petitioners. It is submitted that they cannot be treated as senior to the petitioners as they had opted later than the petitioners for joining the Hill Cadre. He further submitted that Writ Petition bearing no. 3081/2001 (S/S) was preferred by Daljeet Singh Bisht, who was then working as Junior Engineer in Uttarakhand Pay Jal Nigam and the said petition having similar facts was allowed vide judgment and order dated 16.7.2008. The petitioners submitted a representation (Annexure 9) to the respondent no. 1 stating therein that their case may also be considered in the light of the aforesaid judgment. It is prayed that the respondent no. 1 may be directed to decide the aforesaid representation of the petitioners. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances that have been brought on the record, the innocuous prayer made by learned Counsel for the petitioners is accepted. Respondent no. 1 is directed to decide the aforesaid representation of the petitioners, within four weeks from the date of the presentation of certified copy of this order, by a reasoned and speaking order. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Urgency application and interim relief application also stand disposed of accordingly. (Nirmal Yadav, J.) Vacation Judge 3.2.2011 Prabodh
