(1.) THE instant writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated 25.11.1999 (Annx. 8) passed by the Government issuing directions to make appointments as per the directions contained therein. The said impugned order dated 25.11.1999 has also been challenged by other petitioners by way of filing separate writ petitions. Some petitions have been filed challenging the discriminatory attitude of the respondents while implementing the order dated 25.11.1999. Particulars of all petitions have been furnished in the Schedule annexed to this judgment. Since common questions of law and facts are involved, all the writ petitions are being decided by a common judgment taking the instant Petition as the leading case.'
(2.) THE facts and circumstances giving rise to this case are that respondent No. 3 advertised 222 posts of Teachers Grade III, vide Advertisement dated 15.6.1998 (Annx. 1), inviting applications from the eligible candidates. Posts had to be filled up as per the provisions contained in the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996 (for short, 'the Rules, 1996'). The advertisement itself lays down the eligibility of candidates including educational qualification, age etc. Certain Guidelines had also been issued in the Circular dated 10.6.1998 (Annx. 2) for filling up the said posts. The said Guidelines do not provide for any appointment/preference to any person possessing the vocational qualification or to those persons who had already worked with State on contractual basis. On the contrary, the respondents issued a Circular dated 19.8.1998 (Annx. 2 -A) clarifying that the persons possessing the vocational qualification shall not be considered as eligible for the posts. Petitioner as well as other eligible candidates applied for the post and interviews were held on 29/30 June, 1998. A select list was published, in which petitioner's name appeared at Serial No. 212. As per the advertisement and as per the Statutory Rules, the selection list had to expire on 30.6.1999. The State Government, vide order dated 29.6.1999 (Annx. 6) extended the life of the select list till new advertisement is issued. Ignoring the claim of the petitioner, appointments are being offered to the persons who had worked earlier on contract basis and/or possessed the Vocational qualification as per the order dated 25.11.1999 (Annx. 8) as is evident from the letter of the respondents dated 23.2.2000 (Annx. 9). Hence this petition.
