Order 07/04/2026
1. Heard on final disposal.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the case of the petitioner is covered by the judgment dated 15.10.2025 passed in Dr. Shreeram Jhajhara & Ors. Vs. The State of Rajasthan & Ors. (S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 20140/2025). 3. The order dated 15.10.2025 passed in Dr. Shreeram Jhajhara (supra) reads as follows:
"1. Heard. 2. The present writ petition has been filed challenging the action of the respondents in not permitting the petitioners to perform duties on the post of Medical Officer despite the availability of vacant posts available under District Jaisalmer. 3. The main grievance of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners is that the petitioners were engaged on an urgent temporary basis
[2026:RJ-JP:14394] (2 of 3) [CW-6227/2026] on the post of Medical Officer until regular recruitment is completed for the said post. This recruitment is conducted by a Committee constituted at the district level and urgent recruitment was carried out to fill the vacancies existing in the said districts. 4. The further grievance of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that, as per the selection made at the district level, the petitioners were posted at the concerned PHC. It is also submitted that until the regular post is filled, the position of Medical Officer at the concerned PHC is to be filled on a temporary basis. 5. Vide order dated 01.10.2025 (Annex.6), general directions were issued to disengage Medical Officers appointed on temporary basis wherever such vacancies have been filled with regular employees. 6. The case of the petitioners is that certain vacancies still remain unfilled by regular appointments and the petitioners’ candidature should be considered for such vacancies without initiating any fresh urgent temporary recruitment, until regularly appointed Medical Officers are posted in the concerned districts where the petitioners and others were selected. 7. The fact remains that various persons were selected by the District Level Committee, consisting of district- level and other officers, depending on the vacancies then existing and they were engaged on an urgent temporary basis. 8. It appears that certain regular postings have been made, as a result, the impugned common order has been passed disengaging the persons wherever such posts are filled up with regular postings. The engagement of the petitioner along with others was on temporary basis till regular recruitment is done. 9.
If there are still any vacant posts unfilled by regular recruitment or by any person on an urgent temporary basis, such vacancies are required to be filled from among the persons who have been disengaged due to regular appointments. 10. Before disengaging the petitioner, the respondents were required to consider all such disengaged persons for any other posts that remain vacant due to the absence/non-joining of regular appointments. Such re- engagement shall be made based on merit and length of service among the persons already disengaged in the same district. [2026:RJ-JP:14394] (3 of 3) [CW-6227/2026]
11. The said exercise shall be carried out within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this
order.
12. With the aforesaid directions, the present writ petition is disposed of."
4. In view of the above cited order, the present writ petition is also disposed of in the same terms as passed in the case of Dr. Shreeram Jhajhara (supra).
5. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
