As far as first prayer is concerned, the learned Addl. Advocate General submits that the petitioner being a contract employee cannot be granted revised pay scale. We find force in the above submission because a contract employee is governed by the terms and conditions of the contract. 3. As far as second prayer is concerned, according to the petitioner, the issue is squarely covered in his favour by the decision of this Court in CWP (T) No. 14232 of 2008, titled Nek Ram and ors. Vs. State of H.P. and ors., decided on 17.11.2009. It is also submitted that the judgment has been implemented.

The needful shall be done by the second respondent within a period of four months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment and a copy of the judgment, referred to above, along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent by the petitioner. 3. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice V.K. Sharma) Judge.
