JUDGMENT Dev Darshan Sud, J.(Oral)-The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 9.7.2007 passed by the State Administrative Tribunal giving work-charged status to the respondent w.e.f. 1.1.2005. 2. The petitioner before the Tribunal has claimed work charge status on completion of ten years service from the year 1998. The brief facts of the case are that the respondent was employed by the petitioners department in the year 1994 and as per the reply filed by the petitioners the respondent had completed 10 years service with 240 days in each calendar year since then. The State challenges the order in this Court on the grounds that it is contrary to the order passed by this court in CWP No.778 of 2006, titled as State of HP vs. Gauri Dutt. We have gone through the ratio of that case and find that it is not applicable to facts of the present case. The Tribunal has directed that work-charged status be granted to respondent herein w.e.f. 1.1.2005 after he completes 10 years of service as directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Mool Raj Upadhyaya vs. The State of Himachal Pradesh and Ors. 1994 Supp (2) SCC 316. The pleadings in the writ petition are that the respondent herein is entitled to regularization w.e.f. 23.12.2006 and therefore, he could not be granted work-charged status. This submission cannot be accepted as the Supreme Court in State of H.P & others vs. Gehar Singh (Civil Appeal No.1037/2007, decided on 27.2.2007) has held that the work charged status is different from that of regularization. We find no infirmity in the order of the Tribunal, which is accordingly dismissed with no order as to costs.
