STATE OF RAJASTHAN Vs. ALOK VYAS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HAVING regard to the submissions made, while allowing the applications seeking condonation, the short delay in filing each of these appeal is condoned. The appeals are taken on the regular side.

(2.) AFTER having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having perused the material placed on record, we are clearly of the view that the issue involved in the present appeals stand concluded by the decisions of this Court, including the one in Rajasthan Vs. Hem Singh & Ors, decided on 03.02.2012 wherein, a Division Bench of this Court has affirmed the writ issued by the learned Single Judge of this Court in favour of the similarly placed incumbents. In fact, in the impugned order dated 04.05.2013 itself, the learned Single Judge has noticed that the parties are essentially ad idem on the fact that the similar issues have already been decided by this Court and hence, the petitioners (respondents herein) were granted the same relief, i.e., of semi permanent status as Store Munshi from the date of their initial appointment.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the appellant then contended that giving monetary benefits to the writ petitioners retrospectively by the Writ Court is not proper and would be a heavy burden on the State. We are not impressed by this submission also for more than one The position aforesaid directly applies to the present cases too and the matter stands concluded so far this Court is concerned. These appeals, accordingly, stand dismissed following the decision in Hem Singh's case (supra) and in the same terms. No costs.
