JUGHMENT Mansoor Ahmad Mir, Chief Justice (Oral) The writ petitioner was denied appointment illegally constraining him to file CWP (T) No. 8807 of 2008 challenging the appointment of private respondent No. 4, Smt. Anjana Sharma, to the post of Water Carrier, was allowed with a direction to the respondents to appoint the writ petitioner. The appeal filed by private respondent No. 4 was also dismissed by a Division Bench of this Court. It is contended that the writ petitioner could not reap the fruits of his legitimate rights and litigation because of the fault of the respondents. 2. The grievance projected by the writ petitioner is that he is entitled to seniority and other consequential benefits right from the date he was denied appointment due to the illegal appointment of one Smt. Anjana Sharma. 3. This Court has already determined this issue in the cases titled as Neetu versus The State of H.P. & others, reported in 2014 (2) Him. L.R. (DB) 1233, and Balak Ram versus State of Himachal Pradesh & others, reported in 2015 (1) Him. L.R. (DB) 32. 4. In the given circumstances, I deem it proper to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to examine the case of the writ petitioner in light of the judgments (supra) and make a decision within six weeks. 5. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly alongwith all pending applications.
