(Oral) In nutshell, the grouse of the petitioner, as has been highlighted in the petition and further canvassed by Ms. Babita Chauhan, learned counsel representing the petitioner, is that though in terms of judgment dated 06.02.2025, passed by Hon’ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal No. 1595 of 2025, titled State of Himachal Pradesh and others vs. Surajmani and others, petitioner has been granted work charge status on notional basis, but till date pay fixation has not been done.
2. Having regard to the nature of prayer and order proposed to be passed in the instant petition, this Court sees no necessity to call for the reply from the respondents, who are
otherwise represented by Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General. Mr. Kahol, states that order of pay fixation, if not already passed, shall be passed expeditiously.
3. Consequently, in view of the above, nothing remains to be adjudicated in the instant petition and accordingly, the same is disposed of with a direction to the respondents that order of pay fixation, if not already passed, shall be passed expeditiously, preferably within two weeks from today. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. November 17, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil)
