SBCWP NO.1243/10. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1243/2010. Shankar Lal Gathala Versus State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order:- April 30, 2010. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Smt. Sangeeta Sharma for the petitioner. ***** BY THE COURT:- This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the criteria adopted by the respondent-Rajasthan Public Service Commission to shortlisting the candidates. It is contended that such a criteria was never advertised vide advertisement dated 5/7/2009. Petitioner applied for appointment on the post of Agriculture Officer for which requisite qualification was 'degree of M.Sc. (Agriculture)'. According to the learned counsel for petitioner, petitioner possess that qualification and on that basis, he applied however, respondents surreptitiously adopted the criteria of giving preference/weightage of 5% marks to those possessing qualification of M.Sc. (Agriculture) and who had secured first division in Agriculture. Aforesaid criteria appears to have been adopted by the respondent-RPSC to short list the candidates keeping SBCWP NO.1243/10. 2 in view the enormity of applications which yet received. Unless petitioner able to show that any candidate having lower merit than him has been selected, this Court cannot interfere in the select list which is being prepared by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission after undertaking so much of exercise. Even if respondents adopted criteria of giving weightage to candidates possessing qualification of M.Sc. (Agriculture) who had first division in their Secondary or Senior Secondary, that does not cause any prejudice to the petitioner so long she has not been able to show that she also possesses such merit of M.Sc. (Agriculture)/Ist Division in Secondary/Senior Secondary and yet she was not given weightage. I therefore do not find any infirmity in the action of the respondents. Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. anil
