Judgment
CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMAN CHAUDHARY. **** Present: Mr. Shvetanshu Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Naveen Kumar, Addl. A.G., Haryana. **** AMAN CHAUDHARY, J. (ORAL)
Learned counsel for the petitioner, while drawing the attention of this Court to Annexure R-1 appended alongwith the written statement, states that it was on account of no fault of the petitioner that he was belatedly promoted to the posts of AE, AEE and then Executive Engineer. Thus, he was entitled for the arrears of salary which were wrongly denied, besides for interest on delayed release of his pensionary benefits as specified in paragraph No.7 of the petition, which were purportedly on the ground that there were certain charge sheets pending, wherefrom he was exonerated. Likewise interest on grant of time scale in the year 2008 instead of 2002 is required to be paid. He relies on the judgment dated 21.01.2026 passed by a Coordinate Bench in CWP-26551 of 2025, titled as ‘Harvinder Kaur and Others Versus State of Haryana and another’ as well as that of Hon’ble the Supreme Court in ‘Union of India Versus K.V. Jankiraman’, 1991(4) SCC 109; ‘State of CWP-17154-2010 -2- Kerala Vs. E.K. Bhaskaran Pillai, 2007(6) SCC 524; ‘Ramesh Kumar Versus Union of India’, 2015 (14) SCC 335 and ‘North Delhi Municipal Corporation Versus Ram Naresh Sharma’, 2021 (3) SCT 538. He thus prays that the matter may be decided in light of the aforesaid judgments.
Learned State Counsel has no objection to the limited prayer made.
