IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No.: 3339 of 2010. Decided on: 30.07.2010. __________________________________________________________ State of Himachal Pradesh and another. … Petitioners. Versus Usha Sood. … Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, J. For the petitioners : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General. For the Respondent : Mr. Dilip Sharma, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C. J. (Oral): Challenge is to order dated 6.9.2007 in O.A. No.3660 of 2000 passed by the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. That order is annexed as Annexure P-1. It was decided on 6.9.2007. The writ petition is filed only in 2010. Be that as it may. We find from the order that the original application was allowed in terms of decision in O.A. No.1111 of 1994 wherein there was a direction to treat the applicants therein as Lecturer/Pandit with effect from the date they joined Sanskrit College. There was also a direction that they would be entitled to the pay scale as applicable to other similarly situated persons. However, the arrears of salary were restricted for the period of three years. The operative portion of the order reads as follows:- - 2 - “In view of above discussion, the present original application is allowed in terms of decision in OA No.1111/94 with the direction to treat the applicants as Lecturer/Pandit w.e.f. the date they joined Sanskrit College and they will be entitled to the pay scale as admissible to other similarly situated persons. However, the arrears of salary would be admissible from a period of three years from the date of filing of the present application with difference of arrears of pay and all consequential benefits like that granted to Sh. Mahidhar Sharma TGT.” 2. It is not in dispute that the decision in OA No.1111/94 has become final. O.A. No.3660/2000 was disposed only in terms of the said decision. Thus, the basic decision having become final, there is no point for challenging the order in O.A. No.3660 of 2000, which is only disposed of in terms of decision in OA No.1111/94. The writ petition is hence dismissed, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. July 30, 2010. (sck/awasthi).
