1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3277/02 Nihal Singh Yadav & Anr. vs. RPSC & Anr. Date of order : 5/1/2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri S.K. Singodiya for the petitioners. Shri S.N. Kumawat for RPSC. Shri Hemant Gupta, Addl. Govt. Counsel for the State. ****** This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner challenging the corrigendum issued by respondents dated 23.1.2002. Originally, the respondents advertised 12 posts of Lecturer in the subject of Chemistry some time in the year 2001 but by the aforesaid corrigendum all these posts were reserved for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe. The respondents in reply to the writ petition have clarified that on verification of the facts, it was found that all these 12 posts were backlog posts of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category. As per the Government Circular dated 9.10.2000, the ceiling of 50% reservation on the backlog posts was not applicable. The respondents in reply to the writ petition have also 2 submitted that the selection process has been completed but those selected have been given appointment. In view of the fact that the petitioners are the candidates belonging to OBC, they could not possibly to get appointed on the post of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe. Now when the selection is over, it cannot be questioned because the selected and appointed candidates have not been joined as party respondents in this writ petition, despite the fact that the petition has remained pending before this Court for last six years. I therefore do not find any merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
