I.A. No.02/2025:
1. The matter comes up on the application (I.A. No.02/2025)
for early listing of the present writ petition.
2. For the reasons mentioned in the application, the same is
allowed.
S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.8274/2024 & 8062/2024
1. The present writ petitions have been filed challenging the
action of the respondent authorities for not passing any order on
the representation filed by the petitioners whereunder they have
requested to consider their case for covering the Contractual
Hiring To Civil Posts Rules, 2022 (hereinafter referred to as 'the
Rules of 2022').
2. The case of the petitioners is that the petitioners were
recruited by direct contract through the outsourcing agency and
their case is also covered by the order dated 26.08.2025 passed
by Hon'ble Division Bench of this Court in D.B. Civil Writ
(Uploaded on 25/11/2025 at 05:12:56 PM)
[2025:RJ-JD:50954] (9 of 10) [CW-8274/2024]
Petition No.11737/2024 titled as Rodu Lal & Ors. Vs. The
State of Rajasthan & Ors. and connected batch of petitions.
3. The operative portion of the order dated 26.08.2025 reads
as follows:
"40. This Court is further of the firm opinion that if the
respondents continue with the services of the petitioners,
without covering them under the Rules of 2022 would be
against the principles as enumerated by the Hon'ble Apex
Court in a catena of judgments wherein the Court has
opined that the practice of appointment of contractual
employees without any rules would lead to a situation of
exploitation by the employer. With this intent only, the
Rules of 2022 have been framed and therefore, the
benefit of the said rules cannot be denied to the
petitioners and similarly situated persons merely on the
count of having been appointed through placement
agency.
41. In light of the aforesaid facts & findings and the
judgments, this Court is of the opinion that Rule 3 of the
Rules of 2022 has to be read harmoniously, whereby, the
petitioners and similarly situated persons, who have been
appointed through placement agency after issuance of
public advertisement are to be covered under the ambit of
Rule 3 of the Rules of 2022. Since, the above rule has
been read harmoniously in favour of the petitioners,
therefore, there is no requirement to decide question No.
(b), which was framed under para 13. The harmonious
reading of the Rule itself clarifies that, there ought to be
no discrimination between the contractual employees
appointed through placement agency as well as the
contractual employees appointed directly.
42. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petitions are
allowed in the following terms:
(i) The respondents shall consider the individual case of
each contractual employee, appointed prior to
enforcement of the Rules of 2022 strictly in accordance
with Rule 3 of the Rules of 2022,meaning thereby, that if
(Uploaded on 25/11/2025 at 05:12:56 PM)
[2025:RJ-JD:50954] (10 of 10) [CW-8274/2024]
an employee has been appointed on a post created by the
Administrative Department with the concurrence of the
Finance Department and the appointment has been
through issuance of a public advertisement further without
there being any differentiation whether the public
advertisement has been issued by the State Government
or by the placement agency.
(ii) If the case of the individual is in conformation with
the Rule 3 of the Rules of 2022, as interpreted above,
then the benefit of the Rules of 2022 shall be extended to
such petitioners."
4. In view of the aforesaid, the present writ petitions are
disposed of in the same terms as in the case of Rodu Lal
& Ors. (supra), giving liberty to the petitioners to file
individual representation. If any such representation is
filed, the respondent No.1-Principal Secretary, Gramin
Vikas And Panchayati Raj Department shall consider the
same in terms of the principles laid down in the case of
Rodu Lal & Ors. (supra) within a period of two months
from the date of receipt of this order.
5. The said exercise shall be done within a period of three
