Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties. 2.The issue raised in these writ appeals and writ petitions is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in W.A.Nos.882, 808 of 2017, 1224, 1395, 1471, 1283 and 1323 of 2016 dated 06.04.2018, wherein this Court has directed as follows:- "15.In terms of the above discussions, we dispose of the writ appeals as under:

(i)50% of the services rendered by the respondents herein, as Part Time Vocational Instructor (either as Single Part time or Double Part Time Vocational Instructor), shall be counted for the purpose of computing pension and other retiral benefits.

(ii)The above said benefit shall be extended only to the respondents in these writ appeals and for the persons similarly situated like that of the respondents herein, whose cases are pending before this Court. Thus it is made clear that the above said benefit shall not be extended to any other future cases that may be filed on this account, on the ground of delay and laches, since all along they have not come up before this Court and remained as fence-sitters. It is also needless to point out that allowing such cases would amount to opening the pandora's box, touching upon the financial implications of the State.

16.The writ appeals are disposed of

accordingly. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed." 3.Accordingly, these writ appeals and writ petitions stand disposed of in terms of the judgment of this Court in W.A.Nos.882, 808 of 2017, 1224, 1395, 1471, 1283 and 1323 of 2016 dated 06.04.2018. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
