     HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE CHANDRA PRAKASH SHRIMALI

Order

27/02/2025

1. Learned counsel for the appellant-State fairly submits that

the issue raised in the present appeal is no more res integra and

the same has been decided by this Court in D.B. Special Appeal

Writ No. 1373/2019 (State of Rajasthan & Ors Vs. Gaya Shri) on

04.09.2021.

2. Order passed in the case of Gaya Shri (supra) reads as

under:-

"1. This intra-Court appeal is directed against the order dated 26.11.18 passed by this Court, whereby the writ petition preferred by the appellant challenging the action of the respondents in not considering her candidature for recruitment to the post of Teacher Grade-III (Level-II) in subject Hindi,

[2025:RJ-JD:11400-DB] (2 of 3) [SAW-922/2019]

has been allowed, while relying upon a Bench decision of this Court in State of Rajasthan & Anr. v. Deepak Bariya : D.B.S.A.W. No.598/18, decided on 4.4.18.

It is noticed that as per the advertisement, the eligibility qualification prescribed for appointment on the post of Teacher Grade-III (Level-II) in subject Hindi was as follows :

"B fgUnh d s v/;kid d s fy; s] vH;FkhZ dks oSdfYid fo'k; d s :i esa fgUnh fo'k; d s lkFk Lukrd ;k lerqY; ijh{kk mRrh.kZ fd;k gqvk gk suk pkfg, vkSj vkosfnr fo'k; lfgr jhV@vkjVsV 60 izfr"kr vadk s d s lkFk mRrh.kZ fd;k gqvk gk suk pkfg,A"

The candidature of the appellant is not considered only for the reason that she has studied optional subject Hindi in two years of the graduation course and not for three years. It is pertinent to note that as per the advertisement, the candidate having qualification of graduation with optional subject Hindi or equivalent qualification is eligible to be considered for appointment on the said post.

Drawing the attention of this Court to the graduation certificate issued by the Allahabad University, learned counsel for the respondent submitted that in Allahabad University in first and second year of the course, three optional subjects are permitted and in third year, only two optional subjects are permitted.

It is not disputed that the appellant had optional subject Hindi in two years as per the curriculum provided by the Allahabad University.

The eligibility qualification prescribed does not envisage that a candidate must have relevant optional subject in all the three years of course of studies. We cannot read something in the eligibility qualification prescribed, which is not there and therefore, we are not inclined to interfere with the order impugned passed by the learned Single Judge, which is passed following a Bench decision of this court.

The intra-Court appeal is, therefore, dismissed."

3. In light of the statement made by learned counsel for the

state and the aforesaid judgment, the present appeal is also

dismissed.

[2025:RJ-JD:11400-DB] (3 of 3) [SAW-922/2019]

4. Other than the disability in question, the State shall be free

to examine the other disability and eligibility.

5. Stay petition also stands dismissed.
