Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Batch of execution petitions (EX.P-26/2025 and connected petitions, serially numbered up to 384) before the High Court of Himachal Pradesh, arising out of the judgment in LPA No. 338 of 2022, Narayan Dutt Sharma vs. State of H.P. & others, decided on 12.11.2012, under which contractual service was ordered to be counted as qualifying service for pension and for grant of annual increments, with benefits releasable within four months and beyond-three-years benefits on notional basis. The Supreme Court has stayed the increment-related benefit in SLP No. 64402 of 2025 (State of H.P vs. Sharda Sharma, stay 15.11.2025), SLP (Civil) No. 8008 of 2025 (State of H.P. & others vs. Ram Chand & others) and the lead SLP(C) No. 32886 of 2025 (State of H.P. & others vs. Narayan Dutt Sharma, stay granted 19.9.2025 limited to counting of increments); it was also notified that in some cases SLPs were dismissed. A compliance report dated 12.12.2025 of the Director of School Education records counting of contractual service as qualifying service for pension under CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972, subject to final outcome of SLP(C) Diary No. 32886 of 2025, with an undertaking by the Director concerned qua the unstayed portion. Holding that no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitions on Board while the matter remains before the Apex Court, the Bench (G.S. Sandhawalia, CJ and Bipin Chander Negi, J) disposed of all the Execution Petitions with liberty to the petitioners to apply for revival after the Apex Court's decision; the office was directed to list the other petitions earlier adjourned sine-die, and pending applications stand disposed of.

The present sets of Execution Petitions, in sum and substance are arising out of judgment passed in LPA No. 338 of 2022 , titled as, Narayan Dutt Sharma vs. State of H.P. & others , decided on 12.11.2012 along with connected matters. In the operative part of the directions given by the Coordinate Bench while allowing the said LPA, the appellant and the petitioners in all other connected writ petitions were held entitled for consideration of their contractual service not only as

¶183

¶184

¶185

qualifying service for the purposes of pension but also for grant of annual increments. The restriction as such was given that due and admissible benefits shall be extended to the appellant and the petitioners prior to three years of filing the writ petitions on notional basis. The relevant part of the same reads as under:-

¶186

“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.”

¶187

It is not disputed that in SLP No. 64402 of 2025 ,

¶188

titled as, State of H.P vs. Sharda Sharma , the stay was initially granted on 15.11.2025 with regard to portion relating to counting of increments. A similar order was passed in SLP

¶191

¶192

limited extent again where the benefits of counting of increments was granted. It has also been brought to our notice that in some cases, SLPs were also dismissed.

¶193

The State has placed on record compliance report dated 12.12.2025, submitted by the Director of School Education, whereby in sum and substance the qualifying service for the benefit of pension is to be counted, subject to final outcome of the SLP (C) No. 32886 of 2025 and subsequent orders of the Apex Court. The relevant part reads as under:-

¶194

“Hence, keeping in view the above facts, the contractual service qua the petitioners in Ex. Pet. No. 26/2025 in LPA No. 338/2024 titled as Narayan Dutt Sharma and other vs. State of HP and alongwith connected matters is hereby counted as qualifying service for the benefit of pension under CCS (Pension) rules, 1972, subject to final outcome of SLP(C) Diary No. 32886 of 2025 (State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Narayan Dutt Sharma) filed by the State and subsequent orders of Hon’ble supreme Court in the said SLP”.

¶195

Learned counsel for the parties have submitted that in various other Execution Petitions, the matters have been adjourned sine-die to raise the issue before the Apex Court. However, keeping in view the fact that the report which is submitted by the Director of School Education, no useful

¶196

¶197

purpose would be served as such by keeping these Execution Petitions on Board since the matter is now pending before the Apex Court and already an undertaking has been given by the Director concerned qua the portion which has not been stayed and they would be granting the benefit of counting the qualifying service for the purpose of pension.

¶198

As noticed above, the relief granted for the benefit of increments has been stayed. Resultantly, we dispose of the Execution Petitions, by giving liberty to the petitioners to file appropriate applications for revival of the Execution Petitions, after the decision by the Apex Court.

¶199

The office shall also list the other Execution Petitions, which were filed and Ms. Dhanwanti, Advocate, shall supply the details of the said Execution Petitions, which earlier were adjourned sine-die , as primarily most of Execution Petitions were filed through her, so that necessary orders can be passed in those petitions also.

¶200

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
