For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Sushil Bishnoi.
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN BHANSALI
Order 30/03/2022 These writ petitions have been filed by the petitioners questioning the validity of order/list dated 29.12.2020 and 11.01.2021, whereby, appointments have been accorded by the respondents on the post of Teacher Grade - III Level I and II, respectively to the incumbents indicated therein.
Further, directions have been sought to reshuffle/revise the merit list while excluding incumbents, who did not appear for document verification and the incumbents found non-suitable for appointments and prepare a revised merit list of successful (Downloaded on 30/03/2022 at 08:55:17 PM) (10 of 12) [CW-6459/2021] candidates and revise the merit of the petitioners and give the place of posting as per their merit and preference of posting.
It is, inter-alia, indicated in the writ petitions that pursuant to the recruitment 2018, the petitioners were accorded appointments and were allotted districts in terms of their merit.
Subsequent thereto, on a petition filed by certain left out candidates, High Court in Kuldeep Kumar vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. : S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2094/2019 and other connected petitions decided on 20.07.2020 and Lokendra Singh vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. : S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1184/2020, decided on 17.08.2020, directed making of appointments 'category-wise' on the vacant posts.
Based on the said judgments, appointments were accorded by the respondents by orders dated 29.12.2020 and 11.01.2021 on the vacant posts 'category-wise'.
Submissions have been made, that a bare look at the orders passed by the respondents according appointments reveal that though the petitioners had indicated their preference for particular districts as their first preference, the petitioners were not accorded the said districts on account of their merit in the original list, however, now less meritorious candidates were being accorded appointments in the said districts, which were preference No. 1/higher preference of the petitioners, which is not justified.
Submissions have been made that the respondents be directed to revise the list and accord appointments as per merit by offering the choice to the petitioners to be shifted to the districts of higher preference.
(Downloaded on 30/03/2022 at 08:55:17 PM)
(11 of 12) [CW-6459/2021] I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners and have perused the material available on record.
The petitioners were accorded appointments as per their merit and were allotted districts accordingly pursuant to the recruitment 2018.
The State, decided not to thereafter, proceed further with making appointments on the posts, which remained vacant on account of non-joining, resigning and on account of candidates found ineligible. However, on petitions being filed by the candidates, in the case of Kuldeep Kumar (supra) and Lokendra Singh (supra) and other connected petitions, orders were passed according appointments 'category-wise'.
Pursuant thereto, appointments have been accorded by orders dated 29.12.2020 and 11.01.2021 for Level I and II respectively. The said process adopted by the respondents was questioned by filing petitions being Rakesh Godara Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.: SBCWP No. 2039/2021 and Ram Nivas & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.: SBCWP No. 604/2021 & other connected petitions, which petitions came to be decided by this Court by order dated 23.03.2022, wherein, the plea raised by the petitioners therein was rejected.
The plea sought to be raised by the present petitioners is identical to what was raised in the case of Rakesh Godara (supra) and Ram Nivas (supra) and in view of order dated 23.03.2022, no case is made out.
Learned counsel for the petitioners made an alternate submission that respondents be directed not to place the petitioners at the bottom seniority in terms of relevant Rule, in (Downloaded on 30/03/2022 at 08:55:17 PM) (12 of 12) [CW-6459/2021] case, in future, the petitioners are transferred to their preferential districts, as they have been wronged by according appointments to less meritorious candidates to the districts, wherein, the petitioners were entitled.
The prayer made by the petitioners is apparently premature at this stage and, therefore, the same need not be decided. It would be open for the petitioners to take appropriate steps at the relevant time, in case occasion arises.
In view of the above discussion, insofar as, the plea raised in the present petitions is concerned, no case is made out, the same are, therefore, dismissed.
