Learned counsel for the parties submit that the issue raised in the present petition is covered by order in State of Rajasthan vs. Ms. Firdos Tarannum & Anr.: D.B. Special Appeal (W) No.534/2005, decided on 12.01.2022 and another order in
(2 of 3) [CW-4360/2022] Santosh Swami vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr.: D.B. Special Appeal (W) No.33/2021, decided on 08.03.2022, following the order in the case of Ms. Firdos Tarannum (supra). In the case of Santosh Swami (supra), the Division Bench inter-alia observed as under:-
“Learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the reason for upholding the results of the appellant in the matter of appointment pursuant to advertisement dated 18.06.2018 is on account of dispute with regard to recognition of qualification of Adeeb-Mahir. He would submit that in relation to earlier advertisement of the year 2000, involving identical issue of recognition of Adeeb-Mahir qualification, this Court vide order dated 12.01.2022 passed in D.B. Spl. Appl. Writ No. 534/2005 has held that all such qualifications issued prior to recall in the year 2011, have to be recognized. Therefore, it is contended that the issue raised by the appellant is squarely covered by the aforesaid judgment. Counsel for the State would submit that the
order passed in SAW No. 534/2005 was related to only those cases where the result was withheld in the matter of selection/appointment pursuant to advertisement of 2000, while in the present case, withholding of result was pursuant to advertisement of 2018. He would further submit that in the aforesaid decision, relief has been granted by this Court directing the State authorities to consider case of the appellants therein for appointment for the post in question according to merit position. He would submit that though on legal issue this case is also convered, but appointments would be subject to availability of posts. We find that the issue raised in this appeal is squarely covered by order dated 12.01.2022 passed in D.B. Spl. Appl. Writ No. 534/2005 and as in the present case, admittedly, the qualification was obtained prior to withdrawal of recognition in the year 2011, the appellant, in this case, would also be entitled to similar relief as has been granted in the other case. It goes without saying that the direction, which has been given in other case is also to be given in this case, would be subject to availability of the posts.
(3 of 3) [CW-4360/2022] Accordingly this appeal is also disposed off with a direction to the State authorities to consider the appellant for appointment for the post in question according to merit position and if appointed, to grant all consequential benefits except back wages for the past period. In other words, the appellant would have the benefit of seniority for the past period from the date the person below the petitioner in merit list was appointed.” In view of the submissions made, the petition filed by the petitioner is disposed of in light of and with similar directions as given in the case of Santosh Swami (supra).
