Union Of India And Ors vs Hindustan Development Corpn. And Ors on 15 April, 1993
Both the appeals, therefore, were to be heard
simultaneously. When the hearing of these appeals earlier
reached before a Bench of his Court in January 1995 learned
counsel for the appellants stated that several authorities
had granted identical relief from 1st January 1973 and pay
from 1978 to similarly situated draftsmen. The counsel of
the Union of India was, therefore, directed to look into the
matter and see if the statement was accurate so that
uniformity was maintained. Thereafter when these appeals
reached for further final hearing before this court on 8th
April 1997 cross-Civil Appeal No.2936 of 1991 was not
pressed by learned counsel for the respondents who stated
that the impugned order of the tribunal was already
implemented and there was a decision of this Court in the
case of Union of India and others v. Debashskar and others
[1995 Supp (3) SCC 528] which clearly got attracted against
the present respondents who were the appellants in that
cross-appeal. Therefore, thereafter there remained in the
arena of contest only the present civil appeal.
