Anisha Kumari …Petitioner Versus State of H.P. and ors. ….Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. For the petitioner: Ms. Aruna Chauhan, Advocate For the Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, A.G. with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl.A.G. and Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. A.G. _ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner claims the benefit of contract service for the purpose of increment and vacation salary. As far as the increment and pension is concerned, this Court has already held that the contract service cannot be equated with ad hoc-service followed by regular service and it is for the government to consider the matter. As far as the vacation salary is concerned, the matter is now covered in favour of the petitioner by the decision of this Court in Baldev Singh versus State of H.P. & Others, Latest HLJ 2009 (HP) 293. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent/competent authority to release the vacation salary to the petitioner, in case the same has not been granted to her so far. As far as the other grievances are concerned, it will be open to her to approach the first respondent. 2. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any.
