For the petitioner:r Rakesh Kumar Sharma, Advocate.

General.
Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral)
Through Video Conferencing
By way of instant Execution Petition, prayer has been
made on behalf of the petitioner for issuance of directions to the
respondents to implement/execute the judgment/order dated
08.04.2019, passed by erstwhile H.P. State Administrative Tribunal
in OA (M)No. 549 of 2018, titled Surender Kumar Vashisth vs.
State of H.P. and another, whereby learned Tribunal below while
allowing the original application, having been filed by the petitioner,
directed the respondents to modify memorandum dated
29.03.2013 to the extent that the benefit of enhancement of
Whether reporters of the Local papers are allowed to see the judgment?
retirement age is also extended to the hearing impaired also to
which category the applicant belongs from 58 to 60 years as
specified under Section 2(1) of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal
.
Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act,
1995.
2. Having heard learned Sr. Additional Advocate General
and perused the material available on record, this Court finds that
aforesaid judgment rendered by Tribunal below was laid challenge
before the Division Bench of this Court by way of CWP No. 1577 of
2018, but the same was dismissed vide judgment dated 5.11.2018.
Though, aforesaid judgment passed by the Division Bench of this
Court was taken in appeal before the Hon'ble Apex Court, but the
same was also dismissed.
3. Otherwise also, perusal of the reply filed by the
respondents clearly reveals that judgment sought to be
implemented/executed in the case at hand was not being
implemented on account of pendency of appeal before the Hon'ble
Apex Court. Apart from above, another ground, which has been
raised for not implementing the judgment sought to be executed in
the instant proceedings is that Government has already withdrawn
notification. Since, appeal having been filed by the State has been
dismissed by Hon'ble Apex Court, judgment sought to be executed
in the instant proceedings has attained finality and as such,
respondents have no option, but to implement the same.
4. Faced with aforesaid situation, learned Sr. Additional
.
Advocate General prays for and is granted 6 weeks' time to do the
needful in terms of judgment sought to be executed in the instant
proceedings. Having taken note of aforesaid undertaking given by
learned Sr. Additional Advocate General, there appears to be no
justification to keep the present petition alive and same is
accordingly disposed of with the direction to the respondents to do
the needful expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks,
failing which, petitioner would beat liberty to get the present
proceedings revived, so that appropriate action, in accordance with
law, is taken towards implementation of the judgment/order, sought
to be executed in the instant proceedings.
