Sharma, Sr. Addl. Advocate General. ____________________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J.(Oral): Petitioner who is Beldar, approached the Himachal Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, contending that he was entitled to work up to the age of 60 years. On admission, the interim order was passed by the Tribunal. On account of abolition of the Tribunal, the case was transferred to this Court. It is pointed out that as per the date given by the petitioner he has gone out of service in December, 2009, but the question whether the petitioner is entitled to work up to the age of 60 years, is in dispute. Age of superannuation shall be taken as 58 years only. As far as the actual work is concerned, there is no dispute that the State has been benefited by the service of petitioner as Beldar. Therefore, it is only just, equitable and reasonable that the petitioner is paid the actual wages for the period he worked as Beldar. : 2 : The needful in the matter of settlement of pension and other service benefits shall be done within a period of two months from today. Petition is closed. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice R.B. Misra), Judge March 12, 2010. (awasthi/R)
