CWP No.132 of 2008. 09.04.2010 Present: Mr.P.K. Sharma, Additional Advocate General with Ms.Shubh Mahajan, Deputy Advocate General, for petitioners. Mr.Onkar Jairath, Advocate, for the respondent. The State is aggrieved by the order of the Administrative Tribunal granting work charged status to the respondent as a Fitter w.e.f. 1.1.1995. The contention of the State is that this order is not in accordance with the judgment passed by this Court in Gauri Dutt vs. State of H.P., 2008(1) Latest H.L.J. 366, which requires the incumbent to exercise option for grant of work charged status against the post against which he has put in the maximum number of years or to the post which is more advantageous for him. In the writ petition the State avers that the respondent was regularized as a Fitter w.e.f. 1.4.1998. In this view of the matter, the order of the Tribunal is modified. The respondent shall continue working as Fitter on regular basis w.e.f. 1.4.1998. (Dev Darshan Sud) Judge April 9, 2010 (Kuldip Singh) (aks) Judge.
