Sharma, Senior (in all the petitions) Additional Advocate General. For the respondents: None. 2 Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J.(Oral) The State has filed these writ petitions against the order of the State Administrative Tribunal. The issue in all the writ petitions pertains to the claim made by the applicants for grant of work charged status on the post of Beldar w.e.f. 1.1.2000 and for consequential benefits. We find that the Tribunal has only followed the decision of the Supreme Court in Mool Raj Upadhaya vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others, 1994 Suppl.(2) SCC 316. We are also informed that similar writ petitions have been dismissed and the State has already implemented the orders of the Tribunal. Therefore, all these writ petitions are dismissed, so also the pending applications, if any. ( Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice. March 4, 2010 (V.K.Ahuja) (trs/bss) Judge
