26/09/2023
1. Heard.
2. Petitioners, by way of this writ petition, have challenged the
action of the respondents in not including them in Open/General
category list though the marks obtained by them in the written
examination are higher than the cut off marks provided for
Open/General category.
3. Identical issue has already been dealt with by this Court in
the case of Rajat Yadav & Others Vs. Rajasthan High Court,
Jodhpur & Another (D.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7564/2023
and batch of petitions) and vide order dated 18.09.2023, the
aforesaid writ petitions were disposed off holding that non-
inclusion of reserved category candidates, who have obtained
more marks than Open/General Category candidates in the written
examination are entitled to be considered for inclusion in the merit
[2023:RJ-JP:25112-DB] (3 of 4) [CW-8643/2023]
list on the basis of merit. In the aforesaid cases, following
directions have been issued:
"(A) Respondents shall undertake an exercise of revision of category wise list by including in the Open/General category list, those candidates of reserve category, who have secured more marks in the written examination provided they have not taken or availed of any special benefit which may dis-entitle them from being considered against Open/General category post.
(B) After drawing the Open/General category list, the list of respective reserve category shall be drawn up.
(C) If, as a result of aforesaid exercise, it is found that the petitioners herein have been accommodated either in the Open/General category list or there respective reserve category list then:
(i) If they have already been allowed to provisionally appear in the Typewriting Test on Computer, subject to they having secured minimum qualifying marks in Typewriting Test, their aggregate marks obtained in the written examination and Typewriting Test shall be drawn up.
(ii) Those, who have not been allowed to provisionally appear in the Typewriting Test, they will be entitled to appear in the Typewriting Test and for this purpose, the respondents shall hold Typewriting Test on Computer for such candidates, subject to they having obtained minimum qualifying marks in the Typewriting Test, their aggregate marks obtained in written examination and Typewriting Test shall also be drawn up.
(D) The merit list in the Open/General category and the respective reserve category shall be re- worked. If the petitioners herein are included either in the Open/General category list on the basis of their merit, they shall be offered appointment against posts in General/Open category, subject to the condition that they are fulfilling all other requirements. Similarly, those petitioners, who have been able to secure a place in the merit list of their respective reserve category would be offered appointment against
[2023:RJ-JP:25112-DB] (4 of 4) [CW-8643/2023]
posts in their respective reserved category, subject to fulfilling all other conditions.
(E) It goes without saying that while undertaking revision of the list, provisions contained in (i) to
(v) under Section B of Clause 15 of the advertisement shall have to be followed.
(F) If no vacant posts are available, less meritorious candidates, who have been appointed in Open category or reserve category, as the case may be, are required to be terminated."
4. Learned counsel for the respondents could not dispute that
this writ petition also raises identical issue.
5. This writ petition is, therefore, disposed off in terms of order
dated 18.09.2023 passed by this Court in the case of Rajat
Yadav & Others Vs. Rajasthan High Court, Jodhpur &
Another (supra) with the direction that while undertaking the
exercise of reworking of merit list, the petitioners' case shall also
be considered provided that the petitioners have not taken or
availed of any special benefit/relaxation which would otherwise
disentitle them from being included in Open/General category list.
