JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, C.J. The petitioners claim the benefit of contract service for the purposes of vacation salary, regularization, pay fixation, seniority etc. As far as the vacation salary is concerned, the matter is now covered in favour of the petitioners by the decision of this Court in Baldev Singh versus State of H.P. & Others, Latest HLJ 2009 (HP) 293. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to release the vacation salary to the petitioners in case the same has not been granted to them so far. As far as the counting of the period rendered on contract for other benefits is concerned, it is for the petitioners to approach the Government. 2. The writ petitions are disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any.
