----Respondents

For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Vishal Jangid

HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE NUPUR BHATI

Order

23/02/2026

1. Learned counsel for the petitioners, at the outset, submits

that the controversy raised in the instant writ petition, is no more

res-integra in view of the adjudication by a Coordinate Bench of

(Uploaded on 23/02/2026 at 06:58:23 PM)

[2026:RJ-JD:9554] (8 of 9) [CW-4289/2026]

this Court in the case of Jorawar Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan

& Ors. : S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.555/2005, decided on

07.11.2006, observing thus:

"It is not at all in dispute that the appointment was given to the petitioner by way of direct recruitment as a consequence to regular selection proceedings conducted under the Rules of 1971 by order dated 3.2.1992 and the petitioner joined service in pursuant thereto on 14.2.1992, therefore, he became a substantive employee of Government of Rajasthan on 14.2.2002. The respondents did not allow salary for summer vacations to the petitioner under administrative instructions that prescribes that the persons employed after 31st December of the preceding year shall not be given salary for the summer vacations. However, it does not change nature of appointment of the person so employed. As stated above, the petitioner was appointed as a Teacher Gr.III under the Rules of 1971 by order dated 3.2.1992, therefore, he is required to be treated as a substantive employee from the date he joined service i.e. 14.2.1992. The date of the initial appointment of the petitioner, therefore, is 14.2.1992 and not 1.7.1992 as considered by the respondents. I also do not find any reason to disallow salary to the petitioner for the period of summer vacations in the year 1992, merely on the count that an order of appointment was issued in that year only. The counsel for the State also failed to give any rational in giving salary for summer vacations to the petitioner.

Accordingly, this petition for writ is allowed. The respondents are directed to allow selection grade to the petitioner by considering 14.2.1992 as the date of his initial appointment in government service. The petitioner is also entitled for all other ancillary and consequential benefits including the salary for the period of summer vacations of 1992. No order to costs."

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that, for

the present, the petitioners would be satisfied if the respondent

State is directed to address their representation within a time

frame in the backdrop of the order dated 07.11.2006 passed in

the case of Jorawar Singh (supra), which he is ready and willing to

address within two weeks hereinafter.

3. In view of the limited prayer addressed; the instant writ

proceedings stand closed with a direction to the petitioners to
