For Respondent(s)

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Application for exemption from filing c/c of the impugned judgment is allowed.

Learned counsel for the petitioners contends that the impugned judgment would amount to giving regularization even where no vacancy exists. She submits that judgment in Rabia Shah v. State of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors**.(COD No.159/2016) has been distinguished in the case of Suhail Maqbool Dar v. State of Jammu & Kashmir & Ors.,(Srinagar Bench), SWP No.2127/2016, even though the Special Leave Petition in** Rabia Shah's case (supra) was dismissed.

Issue notice.

Dasti as well.

In the meantime, we direct that the regularization would take effect in terms of the impugned judgment for the existing vacancies. The effect is that if sufficient number of vacancies exists, all the respondents will be beneficiaries but if there is a deficiency of vacancies, then such of the respondents who by seniority would be entitled as per the existing vacancies would get the benefit, and others would get the benefit from the date the vacancy arose. The result is that regularization will take place from the date of the corresponding vacancies.
