IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP (T) No.: 4696 of 2008 Date of decision: 11.8.2010 Jiwa Nand Negi … Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. …Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Deepak Gupta, J. Whether approved for reporting?1 No. For the petitioner: Mr. C.N.Singh, Advocate. For the respondent: Mr. Vinod Thakur, Advocate. Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner by means of this petition has sought the following reliefs:- (i) That the respondent-university may be directed to fix the applicant’s pay in the pay scale of Rs.400-660 w.e.f.1.1.1978 with all consequential benefits; (ii) That the respondent-university may be directed to count approved military service of the applicant in the matter of pay fixation as Security Guard w.e.f.1.1.1978 2. The allegation of the petitioner is that w.e.f. 1.1.1978 he was re-designated as Security Guard. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. 2 The petitioner in respect of his claim has not filed any document whatsoever to show that he was ever re-designated as Security Guard. The respondent- university in its reply has submitted that in fact petitioner was never re-designated as Security Guard but three persons who had been appointed as Security Vigilance Officer were re-designated as Security Guards. Since the petitioner was appointed as Chowkidar and not as Security Guard his case cannot be equated with that of Security Vigilance Officer. Therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to be given the pay scale of Rs.400-660 w.e.f.1.1.1978. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner has been given the benefit of military service in the scale which was being paid to him but the petitioner’s prayer for giving benefit of this service in the scale of Rs.400- 660 cannot be granted to him since he is not entitled to the said scale at all. 4. The petition is accordingly rejected. No order as to costs. 11th August, 2010 ( Deepak Gupta ) ™ Judge.
