JUSTICE SUDESH BANSAL Order 13/05/2025 1. Instant civil writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India has been filed by petitioner, feeling aggrieved by non consideration of his candidature under General EWS category for appointment on the post of Pharmacist pursuant to advertisement dated 05.05.2023. 2. Petitioner has come up with a case that although he applied under Unreserved category for the post of Pharmacist, pursuant to the advertisement dated 05.05.2023, however later on, he made a Representation before respondents, to change his category from Unreserved to General EWS and submitted a caste certificate dated 15.07.2024, but his candidature has not been considered under the General EWS category. 3. Having heard the counsel for petitioner and after perusal of the record, it has transpired that in respect of validity of the caste [2025:RJ-JP:20112] (2 of 2) [CW-12769/2024] certificate, there is a clear stipulation in advertisement dated 05.05.2023 itself, which reads as under: "N½ izek.k i=ksa dk lR;kiku nLrkost lR;kiu ds fy, vkeaf=r fd, tkus dh fLFkfr esa ewy nLrkost dk feyku lgh ik;s tkus ij gh vkosnd dks oxZ fo'ks"k ¼vuqlwfpr tkfr@vuqlwfpr tutkfr@vU; fiNM+k oxZ@ vfr fiNM+k oxZ@vkfFkZd :i ls detksj oxZ@mRd`"V f[kykM+h@HkwriwoZ lSfud@fo/kok@fofPNUu fookg@fo'ks"k ;ksxtu vkfn½ dh ik=rk dk ykHk ns; gksxk! vr% ik=rk dh tk¡p gsrq fuEufyf[kr nLrkost izLrqr djuk lqfuf'pr dj fy;k tk;s%& 1. dkfeZd ¼d&2½ foHkkx ds ifji= fnukad 20-01-2022 ds vuqlkj vuqlwfpr tkfr] vuqlwfpr tutkfr] vU; fiNM+k oxZ] vfr fiNM+k oxZ ,oa vkfFkZd :i ls detksj oxZ ds vkosndksa dks vkj{k.k dk ykHk ysus gsrq tkfr izek.k&i= vkWuykbu vkosnu dh vfUre frfFk rd tkjh fd;k gqvk izLrqr djuk gksxkA mDr esa dkfeZd ¼d&2½ foHkkx ds ifji= Øekad ia- 7¼1½ dkfeZd@d&2@2019 fnukad 17-10-2022 ds vuqlkj fu/kkZj.k izek.k i= ,oa 'kiFk i= izLrqr fd;k tk ldsxkA vuqlwfpr tkfr@tutkfr ds fy, tkjh fd;s x;s tkfr izek.k i=ksa dh vof/k thou i;Zur gksxh tcfd vU; fiNM+k oxZ] vfr fiNM+k oxZ ,oa vkfFkZd :i ls detksj oxZ ds fy, lacf/kr izek.k i= dks Øhehys;j esa ugha gksus lac/kh rF; dks rhu o"kZ ds fof/k lEer 'kiFk i= ds vk/kkj ij ekU;rk nh tk;sxhA Øhehys;j esa ugha gksus laca/kh izek.k i= ,d o"kZ ds fy, ekU; gksxkA ,d ckj Øhehys;j esa ugha gksus dk izek.k i= tkjh gksus ds mijkUr vxj izkFkhZ vkxkeh o"kZ esa Hkh Øhehys;j esa ugha gS rks ,slh fLFkfr esa mlls lR;kfir 'kiFk i= ysdj iwoZ esa tkjh izek.k i= dks gh eku fy;k tk;sxkA ,slk vf/kdre rhu o"kZ rd fd;k tk ldrk gSA" 4. Indisputably, the petitioner wants to rely upon the caste certificate dated 15.07.2024, which is valid for the year 2024-25 and same is of no avail for the present Recruitment-2023, since as per the advertisement, the caste certificate of petitioner dated 15.07.2024 does not fall within the period, preceding one year from last cut off date of submission of the online application form. 5. In such view of the matter, this Court finds that respondents have not committed any illegality/ perversity in not considering the candidature of petitioner under the General EWS category. 6. As a result, the writ petition is hereby dismissed. 7. Stay application and pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. (SUDESH BANSAL),J Sachin/33
