“ A plain reading of the above provision shows that the State of Haryana had specifically decided to grant the benefit of military service only to such persons as had been enrolled or commissioned during the period of operation of the proclamation of Emergency. As such, the benefit was clearly confined to the particular class and was not available to those who had been enrolled in the Indian Army prior to the proclamation of the Emergency. The distinction between the Rules as prevalent in the State of Punjab and the State of Haryana, is thus, clear. While in the State of Punjab, the benefit is admissible to a person who has rendered service during the period of operation of the proclamation of Emergency which by necessary implication means that he may have been enrolled even earlier, it is not so in the case of employees in the State of Haryana wherein the benefit is available only if the person had been enrolled or commissioned during the period of operation of Emergency. Since the Rules have not been amended by the State of Punjab, the provision as introduced by the State of Haryana can have no application to the persons serving in the State of Punjab. In our view, there is a basic distinction between the provisions as made by the two States. As a result, the rules prevalent in the State of Haryana can have no application to the employees in the State of Punjab.”
