    Ms. Justice Sabina, passed the following:

                              ORDER

.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue in

question is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by a

Coordinate Bench of this Court in CWP No. 3628 of 2020, in case titled

as Inder Singh versus State of H.P. & Others, decided on

05.01.2021. This is a matter, which is required to be examined by the

respondents.

2. Having regard to the limited submissions and without going into

the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to

the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner in light of the

aforementioned judgment rendered by a Coordinate Bench of this

Court in Inder Singh's case (supra).

3. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, shall also stand

disposed of.

                                                       ( Sabina )
