HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANDEEP SHAH Order 12/01/2026
1. The present Special Appeals have been filed by the appellants against the impugned order dated 08.12.2025 passed by learned Single Bench in Himanshu Joshi & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors. in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.23632/2025 whereby learned Single Judge declined to grant ad-interim protection to the appellants against the order dated 28.11.2025, whereby, the appellants were removed from service.
2. Learned counsel for the appellants submit that a recruitment process was held by Rajasthan Staff Selection Board in pursuance of advertisement dated 16.12.2022 for 1570 posts of Teacher Grade-III Level-I under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Services Rules, 1996. They further submit that after undergoing the complete process, which includes merit, eligibility and qualification, the final result of the recruitment was declared on (Uploaded on 15/01/2026 at 11:17:33 AM) (Downloaded on 15/01/2026 at 05:08:48 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1305-DB] (10 of 11) [SAW-1863/2025] 31.08.2023 and in pursuance of the final result, after the document verification, selection process was done and subsequently allotment of District was made in the month of July, August & September 2024. They further submit that the appellants continued to work for about 16 months. The respondents however suddenly, without giving any notice or opportunity of hearing passed the removal orders dated 28.11.2025 without adhering to any kind of procedure of natural justice. They further submit that the writ petition, against such termination orders, was filed before this Hon'ble Court, in which, learned Single Judge has refused to grant ex-parte interim order, but has issued notices after hearing of the respondents and would hear the matter on 27.01.2026.
3. Learned counsel also bring to notice of this Court that the learned Single Judge at Jaipur in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.19628/2025 "Sandhya Bhagora v. State of Rajasthan"
vide interim order dated 11.12.2025 has stayed the order dated 28.11.2025. Learned counsel further submit that a candidate who has already granted the interim relief in the said writ petition, the same relief may also be granted at par to the present petitions.
4. This Court is prima facie convinced that the appellants, having continuously worked for a period of about 16 months, were removed from service by the impugned order dated 28.11.2025 without adherence to the fundamental parameters of natural justice, thereby giving rise to a valid and subsisting cause of action. This Court further notes that the very same order dated 28.11.2025 is already under challenge before the learned Single Bench at Jaipur in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 19628/2025, (Uploaded on 15/01/2026 at 11:17:33 AM) (Downloaded on 15/01/2026 at 05:08:48 PM) [2026:RJ-JD:1305-DB] (11 of 11) [SAW-1863/2025] wherein an interim order dated 11.12.2025 is operating. The operative portion of the said interim order reads as under:
"The order dated 28.11.2025 (Annexure-7) shall remain stayed qua the present petitioner till the next date of hearing."
5. This Court finds that when the impugned order is common and interim protection has already been granted by learned Single Bench at Jaipur, the principle of parity, consistency and fairness requires that similar interim protection ought to operate in present matter also.
6. In view of the above facts, the present appeals are disposed of with a direction that the order dated 28.11.2025, qua the petitioners/appellants shall remain stayed till next date of hearing before the learned Single Bench.
7. It is made clear that passing of this order shall not prejudice the case of either of the parties before the learned Single Judge with regard to the jurisdiction of writ. It is further made clear that the respondents shall be at liberty to seek vacation of the interim order from the learned Single Bench itself.
8. Stay petitions/applications also disposed of. (SANDEEP SHAH),J (DR.PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI),J 35-43-Love/-
