CWP(T) No.7410 of 2008 07.7.2009 Present: Mr. Ranjan Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General for the respondents. It is not disputed by the learned Senior Additional Advocate General that the present lis is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by this Court in Krishan Singh and others versus State of H.P. and others, CWP (T) No.7400 of 2008, dated 19.6.2008. In the present case, the respondents have issued Annexure A-3, dated 3.11.1999, regularizing the petitioner w.e.f. 31.3.1998. However, the joining of the petitioner was not accepted as Patwari. The grounds taken in the present petition to deny the regular appointment to the petitioner are the same which were taken by the State in the case of Krishan Singh. These objections have been considered by the learned Single Judge in detail. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to treat the petitioner as regular employee w.e.f. 31.3.1998, the date from which he was regularized by the State Government. He shall be entitled to all monetary and other consequential benefits such as seniority, promotion etc. The monetary benefits shall be paid to him by the State Government within three months from today, failing which the State shall be liable to pay interest @ 12% per annum. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. July 7, 2009. (rkv)
