Sudan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Kirti Singh, AAG, Haryana, for respondent No.1. Mr. Raman B. Garg, Advocate, for respondent No.2. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner was initially appointed as Safai Karamchari in Municipal Committee, Ganaur, District Sonepat, on daily wages on 23.3.1993. Thereafter, from 1.9.1994, his services were regularised. Ultimately, on 31.5.2008, on attaining the age of superannuation, he retired from service. When his retiral dues were not released, he filed the instant petition. In the written statement, it has been stated that the petitioner has been paid the full amount of his gratuity and leave encashment. CWP No. 932 of 2009 -2- Regarding pension, it has been stated by counsel for the respondents in Court today that the pension has also been released in terms of the letter dated 19.3.2009. Counsel for the petitioner has not disputed these facts. However, he submits that while calculating the pension of the petitioner, the ad hoc service rendered by him from 23.3.1993 to 31.8.1994 has not been taken into consideration for the grant of retiral benefits. He further submits that the petitioner was appointed as Safai Sewak on ad-hoc basis by following the prescribed procedure, therefore, the said service is required to be counted for calculating the qualified service for the purpose of grant of retiral benefits. Counsel for the respondents state that if the petitioner makes a representation in this regard to respondent No.1, who is the competent authority, his claim will be considered in accordance with law. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to respondent No.1 regarding counting of ad hoc service from 23.3.1993 to 31.8.1994 for calculating his qualified service for the purpose of grant of retiral benefits and if any such representation is filed within 15 days, respondent No.1 is directed to consider the same in accordance with law, within a period of 5 months from the date of filing of such representation.
