(Oral) The appellants are the petitioners. They approached this Court with the grievance regarding counting of tenure service for the purpose of seniority, increments and pension. Learned Single Judge, has allowed the Writ Petition granting only the benefit of increments. The service counted for increments should count for pension as well, as has been held by this Court in Sita Ram versus State of H.P. & ors, LPA No. 36 of 2010 and Ravi Kumar versus State of H.P. & ors., CWP No. 4550 of 2010. Therefore, to that extent, the appeal is allowed declaring that the appellants shall be entitled for the period counted for the purpose of increments also as service for pension. The grievance regarding seniority cannot be adjudicated also for the reason that the affected parties are not on the party array. Therefore for that purpose, the appellants may pursue their grievance in appropriate proceedings. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. May 20, 2011. ( Justice V.K.Ahuja ), (karan/vs) Judge.
