JUDGEMENT
V.K.SHARMA J. -
(1.) THE petitioners have jointly filed this writ petition for
claiming undermentioned reliefs:
"It is, therefore, most humbly and respectfully prayed that this writ petition may kindly be allowed and by an appropriate writ, order or direction : (i) The respondents may kindly be directed to consider the case of the petitioners on the post of Teacher Grade-III and accord the appointment with all consequential benefits w.e.f. The date from which less meritorious candidates are given appointment. (ii)Any other appropriate writ, order or direction which this Hon'ble Court deems just and proper may kindly be passed in favour of the petitioners."
(2.) FOR claiming the aforementioned reliefs, the petitioners have averred in the writ petition that the lis involved in the
present writ petition is squarely covered by the verdict of
this Court, rendered at Jaipur Bench, in case of Neeraj
Saxena Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (SBCWP No.
6829/2006 decided on 23.1.2009. The petitioners have placed on record a copy of the said verdict which is neither
certified nor authenticated one.
While adverting to the factual aspects of the matter, the petitioners have averred in the writ petition that the
respondents initiated the process for recruitment to the post
of Teacher Grade-III, vide notification dated 15.6.1998 and
pursuant thereto, being eligible, all the petitioners have
offered their candidature for selection. After scrutiny of the
applications, the respondents have prepared a merit list of
eligible candidates, indicating that the petitioners have
secured 67.47%, 65.47% and 61.22% marks respectively.
The petitioners have made specific averments in the writ
petition that the provision incorporated in the
advertisement for providing bonus marks to the resident of
particular District and Rural Area was assailed before this
Court in case of Deepak Kumar Suthar and this Court has
decided to hold that extending benefit of Bonus Marks to
the resident of Rural Area and the particular District is
dehors the law. In the said verdict, this Court has protected
the appointments already accorded to some of the
incumbents. Ultimately, the matter went up to the Hon'ble
Apext Court and the Apex Court has upheld the said view of
this Court in Kailash Chandra Sharma's case. Referring
to the verdict of the Hon'ble Apex Court dated 30.7.2002,
the petitioners have mentioned in the writ petition, that the
relief granted by this Court was modified, in as much as,
the verdict of this Court whereby relief was confined to only
those incumbents who were appointed uptil 17.11.1999
kept intact but the Apex Court has further directed the
respondents to re-open and re-consider cases of these
incumbents, who were accorded appointments subsequent
to 17.11.1999 and prepare a fresh list by reducing the
bonus marks awarded to the incumbents on the basis of
their being resident of a particular District in Rural Area.
The petitioners have asserted with full emphasis that they
are meritorious than the other incumbents, who have been
accorded appointments without material particulars, in fact
pleadings in this behalf are absolutely vague, cryptic and
un-specific. The petitioners have also placed on record
communications dated 07.1.2003, 1.3.2006 and 24.2.2006
respectively.
(3.) BUTTRESSING their grievances, the petitioners have also averred in the writ petition that the Government has issued
directions to all Zila Parishads to accord appointment on the
post of Teacher Grade-III, after deducting bonus marks and
has further ordered for constituting a high level committee
vide order dated 28.1.2004 under the Chairmanship of
Secretary, Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education to resolve the issue perpetually. As per the
petitioners, final report and recommendations of the
Committee has not been published.;
