CWP(T) No. 14026 of 2008 6.01.2011 Present: Mr. P. P. Chauhan, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents/State. According to the learned counsel for the petitioners matter in issue is squarely covered by the decisions rendered by this Court in CWP (T) No. 14084/2008, titled as Suresh Rana & others versus State of H.P. & others, decided on 20.4.2010 and CWP(T) No. 8314/2008, titled as Meena Chauhan & others versus State of H.P. & others, decided on 30.4.2010, copies of which are taken on record. According to him in all about eighteen identical petitions were filed out of which in fifteen petitions orders passed in Suresh Rana (supra) have been passed. Having gone through the record I am of the view that the matter in issue is squarely covered by the decisions taken by this Court. 2. It has been brought to my notice that decision rendered in Suresh Rana (supra) has not been accepted by the State and an appeal has been preferred before the Division Bench of this Court. However it has also been clarified that in the said appeal operation of the judgment has not been stayed. 3. This petition was filed in the year 2006. Since orders have been passed in fifteen identical matters I see no reason in keeping this petition pending. Petition is disposed of with a direction that the directions issued in Suresh Rana (supra) or any -2- proceedings arising therefrom shall be applicable to the present petitioners also. With these observations present petition stands disposed of. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. January 6, 2011 (PK)
