    ORDER PRONOUNCED ON                          :           24/09/2024

Reportable

    BY THE COURT: -

1. The instant writ petitions under Article 226 of the

Constitution of India have been preferred by the petitioners being

aggrieved by the action of respondents for not issuing the

experience certificate in a prescribed format and not granting

bonus marks to Yoga Instructors ("YI") in the ongoing selection

process of Ayurveda Compounder/Nurse as per the order dated

25.04.2023 issued by the Department of Medical and Health

despite the fact that they discharged their duties similar to

Ayurveda Compounder/Nurse during the period of COVID-19.

2. The issue involved in all these matters is similar, with the

consent of the parties all have been heard together and being

decided by the instant common order. For the purpose of

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (16 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

convenience, the facts reflected in this order would be of S.B.

Civil Writ Petition No. 17062/2023.

3. Briefly stating the facts of the case are that in times of

COVID-19 when the whole world was facing a deadly pandemic

there was need of people who can come forward and contribute

for the society. At that time, Government decided under the

National AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha

and Homeopathy) Mission to advertise vacancies for the posts of

Yoga Instructor at 430 Ayurveda Hospitals situated in the State of

Rajasthan which were selected as AYUSH Health & Wellness

Centre and accordingly the respondent director Ayurveda

Department issued an advertisement dated 04.03.2021 and

invited applications from the eligible candidates and as per which

one female and one male is to be appointed at each Ayurveda

Hospital (Annexure 1). The petitioners are having qualifications

showing Diploma in AYUSH Nursing and Pharmacy (DAN & P) as

well as registration with Rajasthan Ayurveda Nursing Council,

Jaipur (Annexure 2). Petitioners were being appointed on the post

of Yoga Instructor by the order issued by the respondent authority

and the copy of the appointment order dated 13.07.2021 of

petitioner no.1 has been annexed with the writ petition and

accordingly he joined on 15.07.2021 (Annexure 4). Similarly, the

other petitioners were also joined and served as Yoga Instructor

and this fact is not disputed. Petitioners were appointed during

COVID-19 Pandemic in the month of July, 2021 and are continuing

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (17 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

till date. During pandemic period i.e., 22.03.2020 to 13.02.2022,

the services of all the employees including the employees of

Ayurveda Department were handed over to the department of

Medical and Health, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur vide order

dated 07.04.2020 (Annexure 7). The work done by the Ayurveda

Department in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of COVID-19 is also annexed

herewith (Annexure 8). The respondent state government has

decided to provide additional bonus marks in the regular

recruitment process of Medical and Health Department to those

employees who served at the time of pandemic vide order dated

25.04.2023 (Annexure 11). Now the respondent department of

AYUSH Rajasthan has issued advertisement dated 03.10.2023 and

invited applications from eligible candidates for appointment on

the post of Compounder/Nurse Junior Grade and the minimum

qualification for the said post is Three years Diploma or Four Years

B.Sc. in Ayurveda Nursing along with internship from a university

established by law in India and registered in Rajasthan Ayurveda

Nursing Council (Annexure 13). The criteria of selection process,

grant of bonus marks, reservations as well as relaxations were all

given in the advertisement. The petitioners performed duties

during COVID-19 and are still continuing on contractual basis in

the respondent department but no additional benefits have been

given as per order dated 25.04.2023 (Annexure 11) and therefore

it is challenged by way of filing the instant writ petitions.






 [2024:RJ-JD:36505]                  (18 of 35)                     [CW-17062/2023]
[2024:RJ-JD:38209]                                                 [CW-17208/2023]
[2024:RJ-JD:38210]                                                  [CW-9283/2024]

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the actions of

respondent's authority in denying to issue the experience

certificate in a prescribed format as well as in providing the bonus

marks to the petitioners is discriminatory, arbitrary, unfair and

illegal. The petitioner no.1 has been appointed vide order dated

13.07.2021 (Annexure 3) and on 15.07.2021 (Annexure 4) he

joined in the office. He further submits that the petitioners were

having qualification of Diploma in AYUSH- Nursing and Pharmacy

as well as having the registration with Rajasthan Ayurveda Nursing

Counsel, Jaipur and are eligible in all respect for appointment on

the post of Compounder/Nurse Junior Grade as well as Yoga

Instructors. It was further argued that the aim of diploma in

AYUSH nursing and pharmacy is to prepare nurses cum

pharmacist with a sound educational programme and to teach

them about healthcare so that they can help as an efficient

member of the health team in preventing the diseases, promotion

of health and rehabilitation of the sick. In COVID-19 times, when

everyone was sitting in their safe environment, State sought to

engage people on contractual/ad-hoc/temporary basis under the

Medical Department as well as Ayurveda Department for

undertaking COVID-19 related works. The Department of Medical

and Health, Government of Rajasthan decided to provide an

additional benefit of awarding bonus marks to such candidates in

the regular recruitment vide order dated 25.04.2023 (Annexure

11) to the employees who served during COVID period. The

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (19 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

petitioners also performed the duties as directed by the medical

department during COVID and discharged all duties as directed to

them during COVID period but still not providing them the bonus

marks is discriminatory in nature. The concerned authority was

supposed to issue experience certificate to the petitioners however

the same was not issued in an arbitrary manner. The action of the

respondent is in violation of provisions under Article 14, 16, 21

and 300-A of the Constitution of India. Learned counsel in support

of his contention has placed an order passed by this Court in

Rahul Singh Chouhan v. State of Rajasthan [SBCWP No.

7868/2023]. The petitioners approached this Court with the

prayer that the respondent deputy director be directed to issue

experience certificate to the petitioners as per period of their

working during COVID-19 and should be directed to award bonus

marks in respect of their experience certificates.

5. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent department

vehemently opposed the submissions made by the counsel for the

petitioner. He submits that the appointment on the post of Yoga

Instructors as provided in the advertisement dated 04.03.2021

provides for a part time post for Yoga Instructors under Ayurveda

Department. He further submits that appointment order of

petitioner as Yoga Instructor dated 13.07.2021 states that it is on

hourly basis and the remuneration is also fixed as maximum Rs.

5000/- per month and honorarium per hour was of Rs. 250/- to

the maximum of 20 hours is fixed. He further contented that duty

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (20 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

of Yoga Instructors was to conduct yoga classes for one hour and

this work for 20 hours a month cannot be equated at par with

daily duty of compounder and nurse for 8 to 12 hours considering

the nature of work and work performed. The state government

vide letter dated 25.10.2023 (Annexure R/1) submitted an

additional affidavit clearing that the work of Yoga Instructors is not

similar to the work and responsibilities of Ayurveda

Nurse/Compounder. He further argued that the Department of

Ayurveda and Department of Medical & Health are different and

they cannot be considered as same. Further he added that the

work of Yoga Instructors and work of Nurse/Compounder cannot

be kept at equivalent position when it comes on providing bonus

marks to Yoga Instructors. Learned counsel in support of his

contention has placed on record the following judgments rendered

by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the Division Bench as well as

the Coordinate Benches of this Court respectively: -

I. Satya Dev Bhagaur v. State of Rajasthan (2022) 5

SCC 134.

II. Ram Singh v. State: D.B. Special Appeal Writ

No.963/2022 and Ram Singh v. State: SBCWP

No.8162/2022.

6. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the

learned counsel for the respondents and perused the material

placed on record.






 [2024:RJ-JD:36505]                  (21 of 35)                     [CW-17062/2023]
[2024:RJ-JD:38209]                                                 [CW-17208/2023]
[2024:RJ-JD:38210]                                                  [CW-9283/2024]

7.    Indisputably,    the     petitioners        were       appointed   as   Yoga

Instructor and they performed their duties even during outbreak

of COVID-19 pandemic as per the directions of the authorities

issued time to time and therefore they deserve to get the

experience certificate of doing the work of Yoga Instructor at

relevant point of time and perhaps observing the same, the

coordinate bench of this Court has passed an interim order dated

01.11.2023, after hearing the counsel for the parties, for issuance

of experience certificate in favour of the petitioners so as to

enable them to complete the formalities of filling of application

forms. It would be worthwhile to reproduce the order dated

01.11.2023 passed by a coordinate bench in this matter, the same

reads as: -

"1. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that though the petitioners, who were appointed as 'Yoga-Instructor(s)', performing the same duties as that of 'Ayurveda Compounder/Nurse Junior Grade' for more than two years, despite that the requisite certificate has not been issued. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that for filling up the form for the post of Ayurveda Compounder/Nurse Junior Grade, the last date is 05.11.2023 and if the respondents do not issue the requisite experience certificates, the petitioners will not be awarded the bonus marks.

2. Learned Additional Advocate General accepts notices on behalf of respondents and seeks time to complete his instructions in the matter.

3. Time prayed for is granted. List the petition on 28.11.2023.

4. In the meanwhile, the respondents are directed to issue the experience certificates to the petitioners of the post of Yoga Instructor(s), on which post the petitioners have performed their duties, at the earliest preferably before 03.11.2023. Issuance of the certificates under the interim directions of the Court would not bound the respondents to award bonus marks, unless the petitioners are eligible for

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (22 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

the same. The entire exercise will remain subject to final outcome of the present petition."

It is emanating from the order dated 01.11.2023 that upon

taking into account the fact and niceties of the matter, as an

interim measure this Court felt it appropriate to pass an order of

issuance of experience certificates to the petitioners on the post of

Yoga Instructors on which post they did perform their duties under

the directions of the respondent department. It is not under

dispute that in pursuance of the order dated 01.11.2023, the

respondent department has issued experience certificates to the

petitioners thus, one part of the writ petition and the prayer

regarding issuance of experience certificate does not survive now

and so also this Court deems it appropriate to make absolute the

order dated 01.11.2023 passed by a coordinate bench. The writ

petitions are allowed to the extent it relates to the prayer

regarding issuance of the experience certificate for the work they

performed while discharging their duties on the post of Yoga

Instructors during the relevant time.

8. Now moving on to the another aspect of the matter as to

whether the prayer for issuance of directions to the respondent

authority for applicability of order dated 25.04.2023 (Annexure

11 of writ petition no. 17062/2023) for granting them bonus

marks in the current recruitment process initiated vide

advertisement dated 03.10.2023 for which the petitioners have

made their candidature can be acceded to or not. Firstly, it

would be worthwhile to mention that the advertisement dated

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (23 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

03.10.2023 for recruitment of Compounder/Nurse Junior grade

has been issued by the Department of AYUSH (Ayurveda,

Homeopathy, Unani) Rajasthan, Jaipur for their services in

Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani Departments. The

advertisement has been issued under Rajasthan Ayurvedic,

Unani, Homeopathy and Naturopathy Subordinate Services

Rules, 1966 (hereinafter referred as Rules of 1966). The

recruitment process, eligibility criteria, selection method, bonus

marks etc. are to be taken care of under the aforementioned

Rules of 1966. The order dated 25.04.2023 (Annexure 11) came

to be issued by the Department of Medical & Health (Group 3)

and the same was issued for giving its applicability for the direct

recruitment process of Rajasthan Medical and Health

Subordinate Service Rules, 1965 (hereinafter referred as Rules

of 1965) so as to give benefit to the candidates/aspirants by

awarding bonus marks to them. The order dated 25.04.2023

issued by the Department of Medical & Heath is related to the

recruitment process as would be initiated under the Rajasthan

Medical & Health Subordinate Service Rules, 1965 only and how

this order shall be made applicable to the other recruitment

process issued under the Rajasthan Ayurvedic, Unani,

Homeopathy and Naturopathy Subordinate Services Rules, 1966

is not comprehensible. Neither the Rules of 1966 related to

Ayurveda Subordinate services has any provision regarding

applicability of Rules of 1965 for Rajasthan Medical & Health

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (24 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

Department nor is there any provision in the Rules of 1965

regarding pertinence of recruitment process of Medical & Health

Subordinate services making its applicability on the services of

Ayurveda subordinate services. Both the department are

different and their service rules are different even the Secretary

and Directors of both the departments are different and both

have distinct features and method of working then how the

order issued by Medical & Health Department can be made

applicable to the aspirants of recruitment process of Ayurveda

Department. Learned counsel for the petitioners have utterly

failed to convince this Court or to show any provision of law by

taking resort of which the order dated 25.04.2023 issued by

Medical & Health Department can be taken for providing bonus

marks to them under the recruitment process of AYUSH

department governable under the Rules of 1966. Maybe that the

petitioners have worked during the period between 22.03.2020

to 13.02.2022, they may have zealously rendered their services

as Yoga Instructors under the instructions of AYUSH Department

but they are not entitled to get the benefit of bonus marks

provided by order dated 25.04.2023 which was passed under

Rule 19 of Rajasthan Medical and Health Subordinate Service

Rules, 1965. There are two distinct subordinate service rules;

one for the department of Medical and Health and one for the

AYUSH and in the considered opinion of this Court; any order

issued by the other department under a distinct rule cannot

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (25 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

benefit the petitioners. Had it been the case that an order

identical to the order dated 25.04.2023 got issued by the

Department of AYUSH, then the claim of the petitioners would

be taken as legitimate claim but in absence of issuance of any

order by the Department of AYUSH under Ayurveda Subordinate

Service Rules 1966, the relief claimed by the petitioners cannot

be granted.

9. After minutely observing that no order has been passed by

the Department of AYUSH regarding grant of bonus marks

similar to what have been issued by the Department of Medical

and Health dated 25.04.2023, now this Court is examining the

provisions under the Rules of 1966 in respect of awarding bonus

marks to the candidates under the recruitment process. There is

an express provision under Rule 19 of the Rules of 1966 and for

the convenience the same is being reproduced herein under:-

"Scrutiny of applications. - The Appointing Authority shall scrutinize the applications received by it and require as many candidates qualified for appointment under these rule as seem to it desirable for interview:

Provided that in case of appointment to the post of Nurse Compounder Junior Grade, the merit shall be prepared by the Appointing Authority on the basis of marks obtained in such qualifying examination specified in the Schedule appended to the rules and bonus marks as may be specified by State Government having regard to the length of experience on similar work under the Government, Chief Minister BPL, Jeevan Raksha Kosh, "National health Mission, Dr. Sarvepalli Radha krishnan Rajasthan Ayurveda University, Jodhpur or any Ayush Project in the state of Rajasthan run by the Government", as the case may be. Provided further that the decision of the Appointing Authority, as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate, shall be final."

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (26 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

A bare perusal of the Rule aforesaid reflecting that there is

also a provision of awarding bonus marks to the candidates for

which the State Government has to specify by passing an order in

this regard and which would be related to the length of experience

of the candidates on similar work under the Government, Chief

Minister BPL, Jeevan Raksha Kosh, National health Mission, Dr.

Sarvepalli Radha Krishnan Rajasthan Ayurveda University, Jodhpur

or any AYUSH Project in the State of Rajasthan. In this regard this

Court feels that as and when the State Government, as per Rule

19 of the AYUSH Subordinate Service Rules 1966 will specify the

manner of awarding bonus marks to the candidates falling under

the requisite categories then the deserving candidates shall be

entitled to get benefit of them but they are not entitled to get any

benefit in pursuance of the order dated 25.04.2023 issued by the

Department of Medical and Health under the Medical & Health

Subordinate Service Rules,1965 because of both being separate

departments and having separate/distinct governing rules. In view

of the above, it is held that there is no applicability of order dated

25.04.2023 issued by department of Medical and Health in respect

of the current recruitment process initiated vide advertisement

dated 3.10.2023 by AYUSH department and therefore the relief

claimed for cannot be acceded to in favor of the petitioners. Rule

19 of the Rules 1966 hereby manifestly states that the bonus

marks should be granted on the length of experience on "similar

work". It is clear from the above provision that the work of Yoga

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (27 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

Instructors cannot be considered to be similar to

Nurse/Compounder until and unless it is proved that they worked

at the equivalent position and have done the same work as Nurse/

Compounder.

10. Since arguments have been raised on behalf of the

petitioners to say that the work done and services rendered by

them in the capacity of Yoga Instructors during the COVID period

are the same as of the Compounder/Nurse and therefore, on the

basis of the equality and nature of the work, they should also be

granted the same bonus marks as per Rule 19; therefore,

discussions with regard to the above plea is being made herein.

11. Ayurveda & Yoga complement each other but cannot

substitute each other as both have their own roots and origin from

which they have emerged. Although both of these operate towards

the common goal which is related to purify body of a human being

but the ways in which it works is totally distinct from each other.

The word "Ayurveda" is formed from two Sanskrit words "ayur"

which means life and "veda" means knowledge and when it comes

together it can be defined as "science of life". It is a traditional

system of medicine which has been originated in the Vedic times.

The knowledge about the body can be traced from "Charaka

Samhita" and "Sushruta Samhita" which describes the interrelated

systems of body and variations in human constitution. In ancient

times Ayurveda started with the knowledge of herbs which has

given solution for the ailment of different body parts and has

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (28 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

included different types of salts which help in curing the whole

body; then "lepa" (coating) which can be applied on the body

parts and can be consumed at the same time to cure the diseases.

Over the period of time, Ayurveda has developed and have moved

forward from making medicines from combination of herbs and by

pounding them in a mortar to modern mechanism which includes

medicines in the form of syrups, tablets, capsules, chutney,

injections which can be injected directly to the body and can also

be infused in the body through intravenous infusion. The system

of Siddha, Unani and Tibbi is most commonly used by the

Ayurveda doctors and they only know what salts, herbs and

extracts to be used for a specific ailment or a disease; the

compounders and nurse working under the Ayurveda do have

cursorily knowledge of these things because of their experience.

When it comes to Yoga, it has been derived from a word "yuj"

which means to join or to unite. Vedas has explained Yoga as a

four-state process which is Bhakti yoga, Dhyana yoga, Karma

yoga and Gyana yoga which is connected to spiritual side and

creates perfect harmony between the soul, mind and the body by

performing different postures from which one can attain peace. It

includes physical work which can lead a person to self-realization.

Both of these are different in nature as Ayurveda has developed

itself from traditional medicine to modern science whereas Yoga is

a physical activity which ensures a bond between mind and body

in a composed manner. In doing Yoga activities, nothing is

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (29 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

supposed to swallowed, drink, consumed or applied to the body

while the above same are the necessary concomitant of the

Ayurveda theory.

12. After perusing the record and pondering upon the

submissions and materials made available to this Court, it is

revealed that the petitioners were having the qualification of

Diploma in AYUSH Nursing and Pharmacy (DAN & P) as well as

registration with Rajasthan Ayurveda Nursing Council, Jaipur

(Annexure 2) along with internship certificates which makes them

eligible academically to fill the form. Assuming for a moment that

the petitioners too are entitled to get the bonus marks in respect

of the services performed by them during the COVID period still

they are required to prove that the services rendered by them

were similar to medical services and therefore they should also be

given the bonus marks as mentioned in order dated 25.04.2023.

Whether simply remaining on job and rendering services during a

particular period is sufficient or whether the petitioners are

required to establish the fact that the services performed by them

are similar is not a disputed question of fact since even a bare

perusal of the order dated 25.04.2023 making it abundantly clear

that not only the service period of the candidate but the nature of

work should also be the same. For ready reference the relevant

part of order dated 25.04.2023 is reproduced as under: -

states that the nature of work should be

similar/alike/equivalent/kindred to the work of Ayurveda

Nurse/Compounder.

14. While going through the materials made available to this

Court by the parties, it is observed that the work done by the Yoga

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (31 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

Instructors were to conduct yoga sessions every morning for 1

hour in AYUSH health and wellness centres and to conduct

campaigns, camps every month for 2 hours. Other than this, they

were involved in reporting and monitoring of medical services and

assisting compounders in their work. The work of

Nurse/Compounder is to keep the medicines organized and

equipment clean and to prepare a medicine regimen as prescribed

by the doctors; to perform enema, treatment of wound under the

prescription of doctors; to maintain complete records of medicines

received for drug storage and to provide assistance to the doctors

in operation. They can be called any time by the medical officer

for a treatment of a patient in emergency situations. The

Nurse/Compounder of the hospital are expected to have some

knowledge regarding the composition of salts/contents of salt in

the medicines or at least the name of the drug/medicine which is

to be given/infused to the patient. In the absence of a doctor, first

aid should be given to the patients with the common medicines

available in the dispensaries as per the given directory and to

perform various procedures of kshar sutra therapy and

Panchkarma. This work of nurse/compounders is not "ejusdem

generis" to the work of Yoga Instructors. There's a difference

between academically qualifying an exam; obtaining a

degree/diploma and practically doing a particular work in the field

and both cannot be equated and taken at par.

It is clear from the above office order that bonus marks shall

be granted to those candidates having experience on the basis of

period of working on similar work to the advertised post under the

State Government, Chief Minister BPL, Jeevan Raksha Kosh,

National health Mission, Dr. Sarvepalli Radha Krishnan Rajasthan

Ayurveda University, Jodhpur or any AYUSH Project in the state of

Rajasthan run by the Government. In an unambiguous term, it is

stated in the order above that the work of Yoga Instructor is

completely a part time and is of voluntary service nature, who are

appointed only to conduct Yoga practice for one hour which is not

similar to the work of Nurse/compounder.

16. Undeniably, the petitioners worked during COVID times as

Yoga Instructors but the post on which they are applying is for

Nurse and Compounder for which they cannot be put at the same

level and therefore cannot be granted the bonus marks more

particularly in light of the order dated 25.04.2023 issued by

Medical & Health Department. The petitioners are demanding for

bonus marks during the period they served but the order dated

25.04.2023 was not issued by the Ayurveda Department rather it

was issued by the Medical and Health Department and therefore

does not apply on the petitioners and will only be applicable for

the candidates who would appear in the recruitment process under

the Medical and Health Department. The nature of job has also

been taken into consideration while deciding the matter. The office

order and the rule clearly states that "similar work" performed by

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (34 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

the employee will get the bonus marks. Here in the case at hand,

the petitioners were appointed as Yoga Instructors and their work

cannot be treated similar, equal, alike to that of Ayurveda

Nurse/Compounder and therefore they are not entitled to get

bonus marks as per their claim.

17. In view of the discussion made herein above, the writ

petitions are disposed off in the following terms: -

A. The petitioners are entitled to get the experience

certificate of the work they performed during the

relevant period but for the experience on the post of

Yoga Instructors only. They shall be able to use the

same as and when it is required for that purpose.

Since, the experience certificate has been issued by the

department under the direction of this Court, therefore

no further order is to be passed in this regard. If the

experience certificate to any of the candidates hasn't

been issued yet despite the order of this Court, then it

shall be issued to those candidates immediately. The

interim order dated 01.11.2023 is made absolute

hereby.

B. The petitioners are not entitled to get the benefit of

bonus marks in accordance with the order dated

25.04.2023 issued by the department of Medical and

Health as the same is not applicable to the case of the

petitioners.

[2024:RJ-JD:36505] (35 of 35) [CW-17062/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38209] [CW-17208/2023] [2024:RJ-JD:38210] [CW-9283/2024]

C. The nature and kind of the work of Yoga Instructors is

different to the work of Ayurveda Nurse/Compounder

and therefore the petitioners are not entitled to raise

the claim of their work experience as Yoga Instructors

akin to the post of Ayurveda Nurse/Compounder.

D. If the State Government specifies any bonus marks as

provided under Rule 19 of the Rajasthan Ayurvedic,

Unani, Homeopathy and Naturopathy Subordinate

Service Rules, 1966, then the bonus marks shall be

awarded to the candidates as per the applicability of

the order and the work discharged by the candidates.

18. No order as to cost.

19. All the writ petitions along with stay petitions are disposed of

accordingly.
