2026:UHC:3100 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPSS/1392/2020 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. Mr. M.C. Pant, Advocate (through V.C.) with Mr. D.S. Mehta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Dharmendra Barthwal, Advocate for the respondents. 2. Petitioners served in Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited as Lineman, and all of them retired from service on different dates. 3. Petitioners contend that service rendered by them on daily wages in erstwhile Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board and thereafter Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation has to be taken into account for determining their qualifying service for pension. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that services of the petitioners were regularised only on 08.11.2015. 5. Learned counsel for Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited, however, submits that in regularisation order, it is mentioned that all petitioners would be entitled to service benefits only from the date they are regularised. He further submits that petitioners were asked in 2003 to join duties pursuant to judgment of this Court rendered in Writ Petition (M/S) No. 1140 of 2001 and other connected petitions, but petitioners gave joining in the Corporation only on 15.10.2004. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits 2026:UHC:3100 that in the judgment dated 12.09.2003, this Court provided that petitioners shall be reinstated in service with all consequential benefits, but without back wages, and their services shall also be regularised, if juniors to them were regularised. 7. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have been making representation for grant of retiral/pensionary benefits, but no decision has been taken thereupon. He submits that writ petition can be disposed of by permitting petitioners to make fresh representation. 8. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of by permitting petitioners to make fresh representation. If petitioners make such representation within two weeks from today, decision thereupon shall be taken by competent authority, as per law, within four months thereafter. 9. It shall be open to petitioners to raise all contentions in the representation. It goes without saying that decision shall be taken by competent authority independently, without being influenced by any decision earlier taken. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 24.04.2026 Mahinder/
