1. - This is a very unfortunate case where although the petitioner has retired on March 19, 1974, yet his lien has not yet been determined by the Government till date.

2. The facts which are relevant for the disposal of this case stated in brief are as follows :

The petitioner in the present case was initially appointed as Vernacular Clerk in the former Jaipur State with effect from Sept 2, 1938. Thereafter the petitioner came to hold various posts which need not be mentioned here, as I do not think them relevant for the disposal of this petition. When the former Jaipur Stale was merged in the State of Rajasthan, the petitioner was transferred as Personal Assistant to the Hon'ble Premier, as he was designated then, and was appointed as Office Superintendent with effect from November 3, 1949 after having been selected by a Screening Committee consisting of the Chief Secretary and the Principal Private Secretary to the then Premier. The petitioner worked as an Office Superintendent in the Secretariat from November 3, 1949 to October 27, 1952 and was put in the grade of Rs. 125-10-225-EB-15-350 in the Unified Pay Sca1e Rules, 1950 and was also given two increments in the years
