Therefore, theses writ petitions are disposed of directing the respondents to pay the eligible vacation salary, during the entire service period, to the petitioners in case the same has not been granted so far in view of the judgment of this Court in Baldev Singh versus State of H.P. & ors, on production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition and a copy of the judgment, referred to above. If the amounts are not disbursed, as above, the petitioners will be entitled to interest @ 10% and the officers responsible for the delay shall be personally liable for the same. 2. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. August 24, 2011 (Justice Rajiv Sharma), (sck/hl) Judge.
