Order
19/02/2026
1. The present Special Appeal has been filed by the appellants
against the impugned order dated 08.12.2025 passed by learned
Single Bench in Himanshu Joshi & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan &
Ors. in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.23632/2025 whereby learned
Single Judge declined to grant ad-interim protection to the
(Uploaded on 23/02/2026 at 03:14:50 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:9381-DB] (5 of 7) [SAW-250/2026]
appellants against the order dated 28.11.2025, whereby, the
appellants were removed from service.
2. Learned counsel for the appellants submit that a recruitment
process was held by Rajasthan Staff Selection Board in pursuance
of advertisement dated 16.12.2022 for 1570 posts of Teacher
Grade-III Level-I under the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Services
Rules, 1996. They further submit that after undergoing the
complete process, which includes merit, eligibility and
qualification, the final result of the recruitment was declared on
31.08.2023 and in pursuance of the final result, after the
document verification, selection process was done and
subsequently allotment of District was made in the month of July,
August & September 2024. They further submit that the
appellants continued to work for about 16 months. The
respondents however suddenly, without giving any notice or
opportunity of hearing passed the removal orders dated
28.11.2025 without adhering to any kind of procedure of natural
justice. They further submit that the writ petition, against such
termination orders, was filed before this Hon'ble Court, in which,
learned Single Judge has refused to grant ex-parte interim order,
but has issued notices after hearing of the respondents and would
hear the matter on 27.01.2026.
3. Learned counsel also bring to notice of this Court that the
learned Single Judge at Jaipur in S.B. Civil Writ Petition
No.19628/2025 "Sandhya Bhagora v. State of Rajasthan"
vide interim order dated 11.12.2025 has stayed the order dated
28.11.2025. Learned counsel further submit that a candidate who
(Uploaded on 23/02/2026 at 03:14:50 PM)
[2026:RJ-JD:9381-DB] (6 of 7) [SAW-250/2026]
has already granted the interim relief in the said writ petition, the
same relief may also be granted at par to the present petitions.
4. This Court is prima facie convinced that the appellants,
having continuously worked for a period of about 16 months, were
removed from service by the impugned order dated 28.11.2025
without adherence to the fundamental parameters of natural
justice, thereby giving rise to a valid and subsisting cause of
action. This Court further notes that the very same order dated
28.11.2025 is already under challenge before the learned Single
Bench at Jaipur in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 19628/2025,
wherein an interim order dated 11.12.2025 is operating. The
operative portion of the said interim order reads as under:
"The order dated 28.11.2025 (Annexure-7) shall remain
stayed qua the present petitioner till the next date of hearing."
5. This Court finds that when the impugned order is common and
interim protection has already been granted by learned Single
Bench at Jaipur, the principle of parity, consistency and fairness
requires that similar interim protection ought to operate in present
matter also.
6. In view of the above facts, the present appeal is disposed of
with a direction that the order dated 28.11.2025, qua the
petitioners/appellants shall remain stayed till next date of hearing
before the learned Single Bench.
7. It is made clear that passing of this order shall not prejudice
the case of either of the parties before the learned Single Judge
with regard to the jurisdiction of writ. It is further made clear that
the respondents shall be at liberty to seek vacation of the interim
order from the learned Single Bench itself.
