IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. LPA No. 417 of 2011. Decided on: November 4, 2011. The State of Himachal Pradesh & ors. Vs. Ram Singh. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the appellants: Mr. R.K. Bawa, AG with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. AG ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) CMP(M) No. 1502 of 2011 & LPA No. 417 of 2011 The State has filed this application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal against the judgment dated 6.4.2010. The judgment reads as follows:- “It is jointly represented by the parties that the present lis is squarely covered by the judgment dated 27.7.2009 rendered by this Court in CWP No. 1594/2008, titled as Man Singh versus Satte of Himachal Pradesh and another. Accordingly, the petition is allowed. Respondents are directed to do the needful within a period of four weeks. No costs.” 2. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the State that the writ petitioner has engaged only after 1994 and hence the case is to be looked into in the light of judgment of this Court rendred in CWP No. 2735 of 2010, Rakesh Kumar versus State of H.P. and others, subject to its finality. The fact remains that the writ petitioner is a Nepali citizen and hence the principle set out by this Court in Man Singh’s case is also to be considered. Therefore, the application for condonation of delay is dismissed. Consequently, the appeal is also dismissed with the clarification that the case of the writ petitioner will be looked into in the light of the decision of this Court rendered in CWP No. 2735 of 2010, Rakesh 2 Kumar versus State of H.P. and others subject to its finality, but being a Nepali citizen, the principle as set out in Man Singh’s case will also be looked into. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. November 4, 2011. ( Justice V.K. Ahuja), (vs) Judge.
