similarly situated as the respondents in the case of Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur & Anr. Vs. Bhanwar Singh and Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur & Anr. Vs. Mukesh Sharma.
Therefore, it is submitted that even though the writ petitions were disposed of on the basis of order passed in the case of Lalit Gehlot (supra), stay granted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court would not affect the merits of the present case.
At this stage, what we find is that the sole basis for the learned Single Judge to allow the writ petition in the case of Lalit Gehlot (supra), which order has been stayed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 22.01.2024. Therefore, in these circumstances, the impugned orders cannot be allowed to be executed and is therefore, kept in abeyance awaiting further order as may be passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Lalit Gehlot (supra).
List all these appeals for further orders after six weeks."
2. Mr. Mohit Singh Choudhary, learned counsel appearing for
the respondent submits that the controversy involved in the
present appeal is already settled in the case of Jai Narain Vyas
University, Jodhpur & Anr. Vs. Mukesh Sharma (D.B.
Special Appeal Writ No.347/2019), decided on 13.08.2021.
3. Learned counsel for the appellants, however submits that
while considering the case of Mukesh Sharma (supra), the case of
Lalit Gehlot (supra) is being adjudicated by Hon'ble Supreme
Court and is currently pending.
4. This Court is of the considered opinion that these issues have
already attained finality from this Court in large number of cases
and now the Hon'ble Apex Court is seized of the controversy
therefore, no further application of mind is called for, as the
mandate of the Hon'ble Apex Court shall govern the present
respondents as well, be it in the case of Lalit Gehlot (supra).
5. Thus, the special appeal (writ) is disposed of with a direction
that the position of law in these cases shall be governed by the
judgment passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Lalit Gehlot

(supra). All benefits arising out of the order of the Hon'ble Apex
Court in Lalit Gehlot shall apply to the present respondent as well.
It is made clear that the appellants shall maintain all kinds of
parity for respondent regarding continuance in service with Lalit
Gehlot until the Lalit Gehlot (supra) is finally decided by the
Hon'ble Apex Court.
