JUDGMENT :
Ranjan Sharma, J.
Petitioner, Lachhmi Dass, has come up before this Court, seeking the following reliefs:-
“9(a) To issue a writ mandamus, appropriate writ, order or direction in nature thereof, directing the respondent department to grant the similar benefits to the petitioners as has been granted to the persons in CWP No.1653/2008 & LPA No.65/2010 with all the consequential benefits.”
FACTUAL MATRIX:
2. Grievance of the petitioner is that he was engaged as daily wage Beldar-Labourer in Forest Range, Kunihar, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh, in the year 1991, but despite completion of continuous service [except in the years 1994-1995], the petitioner has not been granted the work charge status from the date he completes 10 years of continuous daily wage service, whereas, the benefit of work charge status has been given to similarly placed incumbents. It is further averred that petitioner had filed CWP No.2126 of 2011, titled as Lachhmi Dass Versus State of H.P. & ors., which was decided by this Court on 18.04.201
