As far as the former is concerned, the issue is now settled in favour of the petitioners by the judgment of this court, reported in Baldev Singh and others Vs. State of H.P. and others as well as LPA No. 36 of 2010, Sita Ram Vs. State of H.P. and others. As far as the latter is concerned, in view of the pendency of the matter before the Supreme Court, in case the petitioners give an undertaking to the effect that in case the decision before the Supreme Court goes against them, they will reimburse the salary with interest at the rate of 10% p.a. The salary shall be disbursed to the petitioners by the concerned disbursing officer within two months. The writ petitions stand disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy Dasti.
