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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Neutral Citation No. ( 2024:HHC:11126 )

pending miscellaneous application(s), if any.
