IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA L.P.A. No. 9 of 2010 Decided on: 7th September, 2010 State of H.P. and others Appellants Versus B.P. Kaushik Respondent Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge For the Appellant: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K.Verma, Dy. A.G. For the Respondent: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate __________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The State has come in appeal against the judgment, dated 14th May, 2009, passed in CWP(T) No. 2039 of 2008, B.P. Kaushik Vs. State of H.P. and others. The writ petitioner had the grievance for granting service benefits. During the pendency of the proceeding before this court, it is seen that benefits have already been granted to the petitioner, subject to result of the writ petition. 2. Learned Deputy Advocate General submits that since the petitioner has approached this court belatedly, the benefits should be limited to a period of three years only. We do not think that in view of the peculiar facts and circumstances, we need to go into that question since the payments have already been made to the petitioner. Therefore, we leave open the contention with regard to the ratio in the judgment under appeal and the L.P.A. is closed. All the pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice ( Justice Kuldip Singh ), September 7, 2010(K) Judge
