Department Of Personnel, Through The Principal Secretary, Secretariat, Government Of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302001. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Arvind Kumar Arora Mr. Tushar Panwar Mr. Satish Kumar Gurjar For Respondent(s) : Ms. Pooja Sharma Mr. Vishal kumar for Mr. Manoj Sharma, AAG Mr. Yuvraj Samant Ms. Neha Amola Mr. Tilak Vaid HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANAND SHARMA Order 19/02/2026 1. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner with following prayers: "Therefore, it is humbly prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to: A. Issue a writ, order or direction to the respondents in the nature of mandamus, thereby directing them to desist from committing discrimination against the petitioners whereby from the same select list appointments are granted to some of the persons and not to the petitioners. B. Issue a writ, order or direction to the respondents in the nature of mandamus, thereby directing the respondents to grant appointment to the petitioners who have recommended for appointment in pursuant of the final select list as issued by the respondent RPSC dated 03.08.2024 strictly in consonance with the Animal Husbandry Rules, 1963. C. Issue a writ, order or direction to the respondents in the nature of mandamus, thereby directing them to first issue the appointment orders of the petitioners who are part of the select list and [2026:RJ-JP:7881] (4 of 6) [CW-20049/2025] recommended to be appointed in the 2019 recruitment and only thereafter proceed with the new recruitment process as initiated in 2025 for the post of Veterinary officer. D. Pass any other order or direction in favour of the petitioners which this Hon'ble Court deems fit in the interest of justice, equity and good conscience." 2. It is stated that the recruitment process for the post of Veterinary Officer pursuant to advertisement dated 22.10.2019 was initiated under the Rajasthan Animal Husbandry Rules, 1963. Total 900 vacancies including the backlog of past year were notified with category-wise distribution. The advertisement provided that in case eligible candidates were not available in certain reserved categories, the vacancies would be filled through normal procedure. The prescribed qualification was Bachelor degree in veterinary science along with requisite knowledge of language. 3. The respondent-commission conducted screening and interview in terms of Rule 19 of the Rules of 1963. The petitioners were declared successful in the short-listing process on 26.11.2020, then they also participated in document verification and secured proper position in merit. The final result was declared on 03.08.2024, whereby 777 candidates were selected and recommended for appointment, including the petitioners, whose names figured in select list at different merit positions. 4. The grievance of the petitioners is despite recommendation in favour of the petitioners, the respondent- commission issued appointment orders to several similarly situated candidates but did not extend appointment to the petitioners without assigning any reasons. It is contended that similarly situated persons have been granted relief by Coordinate [2026:RJ-JP:7881] (5 of 6) [CW-20049/2025] Bench of this Court. The petitioners have also challenged the issuance of fresh advertisement dated 17.07.2025, alleging that the same adversely affects their appointment under the recruitment process of the year 2019. 5. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that reply to the writ petition has been filed in which, it has been stated on account of interim orders dated 09.01.2025 & 07.03.2025 passed in S.B. CWP No. 8568/2024 and in D.B. Special Appeal (Writ) No. 126/2025, the petitioners could not be given appointment despite their selection. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the interim orders referred in the reply are not at all applicable in the instant case as the subject matter of the litigation as referred in the reply is altogether different. 7. Learned counsel for the Rajasthan Public Service Commission clarified that Hon'ble Supreme Court while passing an interim order in SLP (Civil) Nos. 23653-23655/2023 on 31.05.2024 has granted liberty to the respondents to declare the result and to issue appointment letters to the selected candidates. Hence, as per learned counsel for RPSC, there was no impediment in the way of issuing appointment letters to the selected candidates. Thereafter, the aforesaid SLP has also been dismissed vide order dated 2nd April, 2025. 8. In the light of above, when it is not under dispute that the petitioners have been selected and there is no objection with regard to his eligibility and where other similarly situated persons have already been appointed, this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of this writ petition by directing the respondents to [2026:RJ-JP:7881] (6 of 6) [CW-20049/2025] issue appointment order to the petitioners on the post of Veterinary Officer pursuant to advertisement dated 22.10.2019 along with all consequential benefits. 9. It is made clear that the petitioners shall not be entitled for actual monetary benefits however, they shall be granted notional benefits from the date on which, the persons similar situated qua the petitioners have already been appointed by the respondents. Necessary exercise shall be carried out within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. 10. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of.
