Having heard the learned counsel for the appellants, we find that the writ petitioner had retired on 30th June, 1997 under the composite State of Uttar Pradesh and, consequently, the liability for payment of pension was for the State of Uttar Pradesh. The Court finds that the order of the learned Single Judge dated 24th April, 2008 had directed the respondents to count the petitioner’s past service for computation of his pensionary benefit. We clarify that the direction to the respondents as directed by the learned Single Judge is aimed basically to the State Govt. of Uttar Pradesh. We also find that the State of Uttar Pradesh has not questioned the order of the learned Single Judge. In view of the aforesaid, the appeal filed by the State of Uttarakhand stands disposed of accordingly. (V.K. Bist, J.) (Tarun Agarwala, J.) 19.10.2010 Shiv
