Pankaj Kumar Lakhanpal & Ors vs State Of H.P. & Ors on 2 March, 2023
this action of the respondent-State was challenged by the Medical
Officers (Dental) in O.A. No. 5053/2015, titled as Dr. Bhim
Chand and ors. vs. State of H.P. & ors., decided on
23.12.2016, wherein the learned erstwhile H.P. Administrative
Tribunal held the petitioners therein to be similarly situated with
the Medical Officers, who had been granted 4-tier pay scale after
taking into consideration the services rendered by them on
contract or ad-hoc basis and the respondent-State, in its wisdom,
did not assail the aforesaid judgment and rather chose to
implement the same. This issue is otherwise no longer res
integra and covered by the judgment of the Delhi High Court in
Dr. Chandra Shekhar Sahukar's case, more particularly, by
the observations and findings recorded in para 27 thereof
(supra).
