HON'BLE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE MR. MANINDRA MOHAN SHRIVASTAVA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP MATHUR

Order

16/03/2023

Shri M.S. Singhvi, Sr. Advocate-cum-Advocate General

appears for the State.

None present for the respondents apparently for the reason

that their counsel are abstaining from work pursuant to the call

given by the office bearers of the Bar Association. Such non-

appearance is clearly illegal and in breach of the order of Hon'ble

the Supreme Court in the case of Ex. Capt. Harish Uppal Vs.

Union of India & Anr. reported in (2003)2 SCC 45.

Shri M.S. Singhvi, learned Advocate General would point out

this Court that the issue as to whether, a candidate, who has

obtained registration subsequent to the last date for submission of

application form, is entitled to be treated as eligible, is no longer

res-integra. Referring to the judgment of this Court in the case of

[2023/RJJD/006787] (9 of 9) [SAW-284/2020]

State of Rajasthan & Ors. vs. Zaiba & Ors. (D.B. Special

Appeal (Writ) No.252/2019) decided on 24.04.2020, he

would submit that it has now been settled that if a candidate does

not possess registration on or before the last date of submission of

application form, he cannot be treated as eligible.

We have gone through the judgment passed in the case of

State of Rajasthan & Ors. vs. Zaiba & Ors. (supra).

The orders of the learned Single Judge proceed on the order

passed by the learned Single Judge in the case of Zaiba & Ors.

Since the judgment of the learned Single Judge has now been

reversed in the appeal filed by the State, as referred to herein

above in the case of State of Rajasthan & Ors. vs. Zaiba &

Ors. (supra), the orders under challenge in these appeals,

cannot be sustained in law.

Accordingly, all these appeals are allowed. The orders

impugned passed by the learned Single Judge are set aside and

the writ petitions are dismissed.

A copy of this order be placed in each file.
