Gill, AAG Mr. Manish Bhardwaj for Mr. Nalin G. Narain HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAVI CHIRANIA Order 21/04/2026 1. The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking redressal of his grievance against the result declared by the respondents dated 23.08.2023 and to consider his candidature for the post of Firemen under the sports category. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the candidature of the petitioner has not been considered by the respondent in the outstanding sportsperson category for the post [2026:RJ-JP:16871] (2 of 4) [CW-11690/2024] of Firemen as per the advertisement dated 10.08.2021 issued in the year 2021. 3. Learned counsel further submits that, in the application form, the petitioner had specifically stated that he participated in the sports event and in support of the same, he had enclosed a certificate in the application form as well as with the writ petition which dates back to the year 2019-2020. 4. Learned counsel contends that the respondent- Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, vide office order dated 24.08.2023, provided an opportunity to the candidates, whose documents were insufficient for appointment, to submit the requisite document. However, no such opportunity was granted to the petitioner and further, his name was not included in the list of the candidates who were found to be ineligible due to lack of sufficient documents. 5. Learned counsel contends that in case such opportunity had been provided to the petitioner, he would have submitted the required documents at that time. 6. Learned counsel submits that as per the result declared by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board dated 23.08.2023, the seats are still lying vacant and thus, learned counsel prays that the candidature of the petitioner may be considered for the vacant seats in the respective category. 7. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent-Rajasthan Staff Selection Board initially objected to the issuance of the certificate, however, he could not dispute the fact that the petitioner in his application form specifically mentioned regarding his participation in the sports event. [2026:RJ-JP:16871] (3 of 4) [CW-11690/2024] 8. Learned counsel for the respondents further submits that the petitioner did not submit his documents initially and on the basis of the subsequent submission, is claiming the entitlement for appointment on the said post. Though, learned counsel could not answer the query of this Court regarding the pendency of the vacancy in the impugned selection process. 9. The limited question involved in this case is regarding the consideration of the candidature of the petitioner on the post of Firemen in the outstanding sportsperson category for which the petitioner submitted the required information in the application form and also placed all the relevant certificates in this writ petition. On the query of this Court, the petitioner also filed an affidavit stating on oath that his certificates are genuine and he received the certificates on the basis of the participation in those events. 10. This Court, considering the fact that the respondent provided an opportunity to the other candidates to complete their documents, however, no such opportunity was provided to the petitioner, finds the action of respondents unreasonable and unjustified. 11. In view of the above, the respondents are directed to call the petitioner for submission of the documents in regard to his candidature in the outstanding sportsperson category. In case his certificates are found to be genuine after verification of the documents of the sports events apart from other document, he may be considered for appointment on the post only in case the seats are lying vacant for the said post for which the result was declared on 23.08.2023. [2026:RJ-JP:16871] (4 of 4) [CW-11690/2024] 12. In case, the petitioner is found to be in possession of all the requisite documents and seats are lying vacant, the respondent shall consider his case for appointment on the post of Firemen within a period of two months and the petitioner shall be entitled to all the consequential, notional and actual benefits in accordance with law. 13. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of. 14. The required exercise would be complete within a period of two months from the date of this order. (RAVI CHIRANIA),J PARSHANT /8
