(b) That a writ of mandamus may kindly be issued to the respondents directing them to grant retiral/ pensionary benefits to the petitioner after taking into account the services rendered by him in the Animal Husbandry Department to the Government of HP. (c) That the respondents be directed not to discriminate against the petitioner and to treat him in the same manner as the other transferees/deputationist from the Animal Husbandry Department of respondent No.3 and to comply with the judgment (Annexure P-2). According to the petitioner, the issue in principle, is covered by the decision of this Court in CWP No. 1781/2002 dated 4.7.2008. In case the petitioner is similarly situated as the petitioner therein, petitioner will also be entitled to a similar treatment. The relief cannot be denied only on the ground that the decision in the said case is confined only to the petitioner therein. It is a principle that has been settled by this court. It is also to be seen that the principle has been reiterated by this Court in the judgment CWP No. 1635/ 2002 dated 24.2.2009. Therefore, we set aside Annexure P-4 with direction to the third respondent to consider Annexure P-3 afresh and take appropriate action in the light of the observations contained in this judgment, within a period of two months from the date of production of the copy of this judgment along with the copy of the writ petition.
