Satyen Vaidya, Judge Heard.

2. The Letters Patent Appeal No. 338 of 2024 has been filed assailing judgment dated 12.09.2024, passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No. 2130 of 2021, whereby the relief claimed in the writ petition has partly been allowed in favour of the appellant granting him benefit of counting contractual 101 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) service towards qualifying service for pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972. However, the prayer to count such contractual service for grant of benefit of annual increment has been rejected.

3. Initially, the CWP No. 2130 of 2021 was filed on behalf of 646 petitioners including the appellant in LPA No. 388 of 2024. A Coordinate Bench of this Court had passed order dated 07.05.2021 in following terms:-

"It would be noticed that the present petition has been filed by as many as 646 petitioners, who are serving in different parts of the State and are scattered nearly all the 12 districts of Himachal Pradesh.
In such circumstances, the joint petition is clearly not maintainable and shall be treated as having been filed only on behalf of petitioner No. 1. As regards the remaining petitioners, they are at liberty to file individual/separate petitions.
It is made clear that as and when separate petitions are filed by the petitioners individually, they shall be exempted from filing the Court fee of Rs.250/- provided a copy of this order be annexed with the writ petition.
Since this petition has only been treated as filed on behalf of petitioner No. 1, therefore, the names of respondents No. 4 to 6 are ordered to be struck off from the array of the respondents. Notice. Mr. Bhupinder Thakur, learned Deputy Advocate, General appears and waives service of notice on behalf of the respondents. He 102 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) prays for and is granted six weeks' time to file reply. List on 25.06.2021."

4. Thereafter, some of the original petitioners in CWP No. 2130 of 2021 filed their separate writ petitions on the strength and in pursuance to order dated 07.05.2021 passed in CWP No. 2130 of 2021 inter alia praying for the reliefs in identical terms as in CWP No. 2130 of 2021. A batch of such writ petitions has been heard and is being decided together with LPA No. 338 of 2024 in view of involvement of common questions of facts and law.

5. Since, the relief granted to the appellant in CWP No. 2130 of 2021 has not been challenged by the respondents, the petitioners in the batch of writ petitions being decided hereby also cannot be denied such relief.

6. Thus, the issue that remains to be determined is whether the appellant in LPA No. 338 of 2024 and the petitioners in connected batch of writ petitions are entitled for consideration of period of their 103 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) contractual service for grant of benefit of annual increments?

7. While deciding CWP No. 2130 of 2021, learned Single Judge has held that the judgment dated 10.01.2020 passed in CWP No. 2411 of 2019 titled as Jagdish Chand Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and Ors., on the strength of which, the appellant herein was seeking benefit of grant of increments during period of contractual services had been assailed by the State of Himachal Pradesh before Hon'ble Supreme Court and the same stood disposed of vide order dated 31.10.2023, passed in SLP (C) Nos. 8012-8013 of 2021 in terms of Civil Appeal No. 5148 of 2023 titled as State of H.P. and another Vs. Sheela Devi. Learned Single Judge further held that since in Sheela Devi (supra), the relief was granted to consider the contractual services as qualifying service for pension only, the relief in Jagdish Chand's case (supra) had to be construed in same terms.

8. The only issue considered and decided by the Hon'ble division bench of this court in CWPOA No. 195 104 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) of 2019 titled as Sheela Devi Vs State of H.P and others decided on 26.12.2019 was "whether the services of an employee appointed on contractual basis in temporary capacity can be counted towards qualifying service for the grant of pension after his services have been regularised". The question was answered in affirmative.

9. The State of Himachal Pradesh had laid challenge to above judgment before Hon'ble Supreme Court by way of CA No. 5148 of 2023 but remained unsuccessful. The said appeal was disposed of vide judgment dated 7.8.2023.

10. In a batch of writ petitions with CWP No. 2411 of 2019 titled Jagdish Chand Vs State of Himachal Pradesh as lead case Hon'ble division bench of this Court vide judgment dated 10.1.2020 had held the contractual services rendered by the petitioners in said batch as Junior Basic Teachers to be counted for pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972 as well as for annual increment. The said judgment was also assailed by the State of H.P. before Hon'ble Supreme Court by way of SLP (C) Nos. 8012-8013 of 2021, which were 105 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 7.8.2023 in the first instance. However later, vide order dated 31.10.2023 passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court in MA Diary No. 40418 of 2023 in CA 5148 of 2023 the SLP(C) Nos. 8012-8013 of 2021 were restored and thereafter were ordered to be disposed of in terms of CA 5148 of 2023 titled State of H.P. and others Vs Sheela Devi.

11. Since, in Sheela Devi the issue of grant of annual increments for period of contractual service was neither considered nor decided, in our considered view, the disposal of Jagdish Chand in terms of Sheela Devi cannot be construed to have set aside the judgment passed by Division Bench of this Court in Jagdish Chand (supra) as the issue decided therein with respect to consideration of contractual service for the purposes of grant of annual increments was neither discussed nor decided on merits.

12. The question, as noticed above, has also been decided by a Coordinate Bench of this Court vide judgment dated 02.09.2024, passed in LPA No. 232 of 106 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) 2024 titled as Ram Chand and Ors. Vs. State of H.P. and Ors., in following terms: -

"39. Accordingly, judgment passed by learned Single Judge is modified with observation that reasoning assigned for deciding CWPOA No.5187 of 2020, shall be mutatis mutandis applicable to the present matter also and appellants shall be entitled for counting their contract service for the purpose of pensionary benefits as well as annual increments for the said period with all consequential benefits, but restricting actual consequential financial benefits to three years prior to filing of the writ petition.
(emphasis is ours)
40. Due and admissible benefits shall be released to the appellants within a period of four months from today. Needless to say, that benefits given beyond three years prior to filing of writ petitions shall be extended to them on notional basis."

13. While deciding LPA No. 232 of 2024 titled as Ram Chand and Ors. Vs. State of H.P. and Ors. The Hon'ble Division Bench has taken into consideration precedents in the cases of Paras Ram Vs. State of H.P. and another CWP No. 850 of 2010 decided on 19.10.2010, LPA No. 36 of 2010 titled as Sita Ram Vs. State of H.P. and others decided on 15.07.2010 and CWP No. 8953 of 2013, titled as Joga Singh and 107 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) Ors. Vs. State of H.P. and Ors., decided on 15.06.2015.

14. Noticeably, the judgment of this Court in Joga Singh was affirmed by Hon'ble Supreme Court by dismissal of SLP(C) No. 183 of 2016 and Review Petition No. 274 of 2017.

15 The identical proposition again came for consideration of another coordinate bench of this Court in LPA No. 314 of 2024 decided on 03.10.2024 (in which one of us Satyen Vaidya J. was a member). The view in LPA No. 232 of 2024 titled as Ram Chand and Ors. Vs. State of H.P. and Ors. was once again affirmed.

16. Apparently, the aforesaid judgments in LPA No. 232 of 2024 and LPA No. 314 of 2024, were not brought to the notice of learned Single Judge in CWP No. 2130 of 2021.

17. We do not find any reason to take a view different than the one taken by the coordinate benches of this Court in LPA No. 232 of 2024, titled as Ram Chand and Ors. Vs. State of H.P. and Ors, decided on 02.09.2024 and LPA No. 314 of 2024, titled as Satish 108 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) Kumar Banyal Vs. State of H.P., decided on 03.10.2024.

18. Accordingly, we allow LPA No. 338 of 2024 alongwith all the writ petitions. The impugned judgment dated 12.9.2024 passed by learned single judge in CWP 2130 of 2021 is set aside to the extent the prayer for grant of annual increments for period of contractual service was denied. The appellant in LPA No. 338 of 2024 and petitioners in all other connected writ petitions are held entitled for consideration of their contractual services not only as qualifying service for purposes of pension but also for grant of annual increments. It is further ordered that due and admissible benefits shall be released to the appellant and petitioners within a period of four months from today. Needless to say, that benefits given beyond three years prior to filing of writ petitions shall be extended to them on notional basis.

19. The Letters Patent Appeal and all other writ petitions are disposed of in above terms, so also the 109 Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 ) pending miscellaneous application(s), if any.
