Order 21/12/2023 SBCWP No. 17276 of 2022 has been filed by the petitioner aggrieved against the order dated 29.09.2022 (Annex.-
16),whereby their objections to the provisional waiting list dated 13.09.2022, have been rejected.
The petitioner by filing objections sought grant of bonus marks based on the experience certificate (Annex.-8) for their contractual service under eq[;ea=h ch-ih-,y- thou j{kk ;kstuk and have sought appointment on the post of LDC pursuant to Recruitment- 2013, in case, they appeared in merit.
(Downloaded on 21/12/2023 at 10:01:22 PM) [2023:RJ-JD:44981] (2 of 3) [CW-5587/2023] In SBCWP No. 17316 of 2022, the petitioner has sought direction, to the respondents to countersign the experience certificate produced by the petitioner Annex.-6, award bonus marks and consider the candidature of the petitioner for appointment on the post of LDC pursuant to Recruitment-2013, incase, he appeared in merit.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the issue raised in the present writ petition is squarely covered by order in Randhir Singh & Anr. v. State of Raj. & Ors.: SBCWP No. 8707/2017, decided on 31.05.2017 at Jaipur Bench, wherein the Court has directed, issuance of experience certificate in favour of the petitioner therein, who were working as LDC in eq[;ea=h ch-ih-,y- thou j{kk ;kstuk (Chief Minister BPL Life Saving Fund Scheme).
It is further submitted that the said judgment of Randhir Singh (supra) followed in Sunil Solanki & Ors. v. State of Raj. & Ors.: SBCWP No. 7918/2017 and other connected matters, decided on 17.08.2017, wherein as many as 49 petitioners, were granted similar relief and the same has again been followed in Satyapal Gaidhar v. State of Raj. & Ors.: SBCWP No. 10325/2017, decided on 28.08.2017 by coordinate Benches of this Court and, therefore, the present petitioner is entitled to similar relief.
Learned counsel for the respondents made submissions that though the issue raised by the petitioner is similar to that in the cases of Randhir Singh/Sunil Solanki/Satyapal Gaidhar (supra),the requirement under Rules 273 of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 is that they must have worked in a scheme under the Panchayati Raj Department.
(Downloaded on 21/12/2023 at 10:01:22 PM)
[2023:RJ-JD:44981] (3 of 3) [CW-5587/2023] Submissions have been made that the said Scheme has never been transferred to the Department and is being administered by the State only, however, it is not denied that similarly placed petitioners, have been accorded the relief.
In view of the above fact situation, wherein the orders have been passed by the coordinate Benches way back in the year 2017, which have not been reversed and the petitioners are similarly placed to the said petitioner, the present writ petition is allowed.
The respondents are directed to countersign the experience certificate of the petitioner in SBCWP No. 17316/2022. The action of the respondents in rejecting the objections of the petitioner in SBCWP No. 17276/2022 disentitling the petitioner from taking the benefit of bonus marks based on the certificate issued to them, is set aside. The respondents are directed to accord the benefit of bonus marks to the petitioner and proceed accordingly.
The needful may be done by the respondents within a period of two weeks.
