CWP-14574-2025 (O&M) -2and other connected cases, decided on 09.01.2025. 5.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents submits that though, the claim raised in the present petition has already been decided by this court while passing order in Akashdeep's case (supra), but the respondents intend to file an appeal against the said order passed in Akashdeep's case (supra).

Once, the issue raised in the present petition has already been decided by this Court while passing order in Akashdeep's case (supra), merely that respondents have decided to file an appeal against the said order passed in Akashdeep's case (supra), does not mean that the claim of the petitioner-Institution, which is akin to one which was raised in Akashdeep's case (supra), should not be disposed of in the same terms so as to avoid discrimination.

8.

Keeping in view facts and circumstances of the present case, the present petition is disposed of in the same terms and conditions as stipulated in Akashdeep's case (supra).

9.

Civil miscellaneous application pending, if any, stands disposed of.
