Kanta Devi vs State of H.P. and Others

Kurian Joseph, C.J.—The Petitioner claims the benefit of ad hoc service followed by regular service for the purpose of pension and increments. According to the Petitioner, the issue is covered in her favour by the judgment of this Court rendered in LPA No. 36 of 2010, Sita Ram v. State.

It is always open for her to do so.

Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Respondent concerned to examine the matter, after verifying the facts, in the light of the judgment referred to above and take appropriate action thereon within a period of four months from the date of the production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition and the copy of the judgment referred to above.

The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any.
