CWP (T) No.8081 of 2008 04.08.2009 Present: Mr. Onkar Jairath, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. It is not disputed by the parties that the case of the petitioner is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by this Court in Lalit Kumar vs. State of H.P. and others, CWP (T) No.7449 of 2008, dated 7.5.2009. The petitioner is claiming monetary benefits w.e.f. 1.1.1976. However, Mr. Onkar Jairath fairly submits that in view of the law laid down by their Lordships of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the monetary benefits be restricted to 36 months prior to the date of filing of the petition. Consequently, the petition is allowed in terms of the judgment rendered by this Court in CWP (T) No.7449 of 2008, dated 7.5.2009. The respondents are directed to pay the petitioner monetary benefits of 36 months prior to the date of filing of the petition. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. August 4, 2009. (rkv)
