CWP(T) No.584 of 2008. 09.03.2010 Present: Mr. Yogesh Kumar Chandel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Assistant Advocate General for the respondents. Petitioner has completed 10 years of continuous service with 240 days in each calendar year on 31.12.2002 as per the policy framed by the State Government for the purpose of grant of work- charge status. Mr. Chandel, learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the present case is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in Gauri Dutt and others versus State of H.P., Latest H.L.J. 2008(1), 366. This position is not disputed by Mr. Sharma, learned Senior Additional Advocate General. Consequently, the respondents are directed to grant him the work-charge status w.e.f. 1.1.2003 instead of 6th July, 2006 with all consequential benefits. With the above observations, the petition stands disposed of. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 9, 2010. (sck).
