Further, the petitioner did not raise any objection with regard to the timely pay scale revisions which were given to him and it was only after the High Court decided a petition filed by some other aggrieved persons who were somewhat similarly situated as the petitioner, that the petitioner raised his voice. The Court observed that the petitioner was nothing but a fence sitter who was waiting for the outcome of an ongoing litigation. The Court referred to the Supreme Court judgment in the case of <em>State of U.P. v. Arvind Kumar Srivastava, <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/05gx67r2\">(2015) 1 SCC 347<\/a>, wherein It was held that when a specific group of employees are given a benefit by the Court it shall apply to all the persons similarly situated to the litigants, however, there is an exception if the similarly situated persons are liable for laches and delays as well as acquiescence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court held that the petitioner remained silent for a good amount of time and woke up after long delay only because of the reason that his counterparts who had approached the Court earlier in time succeeded in their efforts. Hence the petitioner cannot claim the benefit conferred upon the employees who were similarly situated to him and who had successfully won the litigation. Resultantly, the writ petition was dismissed by the Court. [Mangat Ram v. State of J&amp;K,<a href=\"http:\/\/scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/v0RkI98z\"><b>2018 SCC OnLine J&amp;K 712<\/b><\/a>, order dated 05-10-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jammu
