Heard learned counsel for petitioner, learned State Counsel for opposite party No.1 and Ms. Kavya Jain, Advocate holding brief on behalf of Mr. Shishir Jain learned counsel for opposite parties 2 and 3. 2. Petition has been filed seeking a direction to opposite parties to amend the order of regularization pertaining to petitioner on the post of Sub Engineer (Civil) with effect from 24th November, 1998 according parity with similarly situated Sub Engineers who have been granted such retrospective regularization. Further prayer for a direction to opposite parties to reckon the period of grant of time scale of pay to petitioners with effect from 24th November, 1998 in parity with other similarly situated employees have also been sought. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner has placed reliance on judgment rendered by High Court of Uttarkhand dated 21st March, 2024 in Special Appeal No. 454 of 2018 to buttress his submissions. 4. Learned counsel for opposite parties 2 and 3 however has refuted submissions advanced by learned counsel for petitioner on the ground that claim of petitioner is highly belated and even otherwise the directions issued by the High Court at Uttarakhand would be inapplicable since the judgment is based not on merits but on concession of counsel of the opposite parties. 5. Nonetheless since petitioner has already submitted representations before the concerned authority and at present learned counsel for petitioner restricts prayer for final decision with regard to same, without entering into the merits of the case opposite party No. 2 i.e. Managing Director, U.P.
