CWP No. 1278 of 2007 7.1.2008 Present: Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. R.M.Bisht, DAG, for the petitioners. Mr. R.D.Kaundal, counsel for the respondent. The only question in this case is whether the employee, who is working in Forest Department, is entitled to the benefit of the judgment of the Apex Court in Mool Raj Upadhyaya’s case. In CWP No. 778 of 2006 this court had framed the following question:- “3. Whether the scheme, as approved by the Apex Court, in Mool Raj Upadhyaya’s case, is only applicable to the employees of the Irrigation and Public Health Department and Public Works Department of the State of Himachal Pradesh or is applicable to all the daily rated employees working under the Government of H.P. ? In answer to this question this court has already held that the scheme is applicable to all daily waged employees working in any department in the State of Himachal Pradesh. Therefore, there is no merit in this petition and the same is accordingly rejected. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. January 7, 2008(K) ( V. K. Ahuja ), J.
