This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking a
direction to the respondent No.5 - Rajasthan Nursing Council to
issue the registration certificate of ANM Course to the petitioner.
By order dated 19.01.2023, a Co-ordinate Bench of this
Court, inter-alia, directed as under :-
"1. Learned counsel for the petitioner raises a grievance that her application for registration with the Council is pending consideration before the respondent No.5 since 2015 perhaps only because the petitioner had passed Senior Secondary from Jamia Urdu Aligarh Board.
[2023/RJJD/004120] (2 of 3) [CW-568/2023]
2. Learned counsel submits that by the Division Bench of this Court vide its order dated 12.01.2022 in DB Special Appeal Writ No.534/2005, the controversy has been set at rest by observing that the courses of (Adib) examination imparted by Jamia Urdu Aligarh have been recognized and equated with secondary examination and that qualification of candidates who pursued the course and obtained certificate prior to 05.07.2011 (date of withdrawing recognition) is valid.
3. It is the contention of the petitioner that she obtained the certificate in the year 2010 and thus, her qualification is valid in light of order rendered by the Division Bench vide its judgment dated 12.01.2022.
4. In view of the submissions so made and considering that the petitioner is required to submit application form on the post of ANM pursuant to the recruitment notification dated 15.12.2022, a direction is issued to the respondent No.5 to consider petitioner's application and grant registration certificate, if she is otherwise eligible on or before the next date.
5. List this case on 27.01.2023."
Learned counsel appearing for the respondent - Rajasthan
Nursing Council made submissions that the council has been
repeatedly seeking instructions from the State Government
regarding the implication / compliance of the order in the case of
State Of Rajasthan (The) And Ors. vs Firdos Tarannum : D.B. Spl.
Appl. Writ No. 534/2005, decided on 12.01.2022, however, the
same is not forth-coming and on account of the said non-
communication from the State, the direction issued by this Court
on 19.01.2023 could not be complied with.
Learned counsel appearing for the respondent-State made
submissions that many similar nature matters, orders have been
issued by the Court and the respondents have complied with the
same subject to the final outcome of the Special Leave Petition, if
any, filed qua the order in the case of Firdos Tarannum (supra).
In view of the above fact situation, wherein the judgment in
the case of Firdos Tarannum (supra) was delivered by the Division
Bench way-back on 12.01.2022, regarding which presently there
is no challenge / interim order and therefore, it is not open for the
[2023/RJJD/004120] (3 of 3) [CW-568/2023]
Rajasthan Nursing Council not to follow the ratio of the said
judgment and purportedly wait for the directions of the State
Government in this regard.
In view of the above fact situation, the writ petition filed by
the petitioner is allowed. The respondent - Rajasthan Nursing
Council is directed to issue the registration certificate to the
petitioner, in case, the petitioner is eligible in terms of the
judgment in the case of Firdos Tarannum (supra).
Needful be done by the respondents by 13.02.2023.
