Common judgement in multiple writ petitions of high court

Kuldeep (Querist) 12 July 2014 This query is : Resolved
51 writ petitions were filed in pensionary benefits revision case of fixing cut off date. High court delivered common judgement in favour of pensioners. State filed LPA in only four writ petitions. I was petitioner in other wp .I filed contempt petition to get implementation of decision of common judgement, it was dismissed saying that common judgement has been stayed in lpa. I filed application to include me as respondent in lpa which was dismissed. Now HC has allowed lpa in favour of state. Can now I file slp in Supreme Court against lpa judgement? I was not respondent in lpa but judgement has direct effect on me.

Dear Kuldeep,

If you wish, you can file the SLP against the order in the LPA.

Having said this, I want to tell you the following:

Please keep in mind, whether you go or others in the 4 LPAs goes to the Supreme Court, ultimately the decision of the SC will apply to all. (It will not be restricted to only those in the LPA).

Expert Mr. Anirudh has addressed very well, nothing more to add.

Although it is difficult to comment any thing about the success in SLP in absence of the summery of the case yet it can be presumed from the query that SLP can be admitted and if SC gives any positive verdict the same shall be applicable in all other identical cases.
