CWP 12126/09 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench, Jaipur. ** Civil Writ Petition No.12126/2009 Dr. Raja Chawla Versus The State & Anr. Date of Order ::: 18/09/2009 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Kuldeep Aswal, for petitioner Petitioner initially joined his services as a Medical Officer in September, 1990. He is aggrieved by condition No. 3 referred to by the respondents in their order dated 20/05/2009 which has been circulated to all the Principal Medical Officers/Chief Medical and Health Officers for short duration skill-up gradation courses for in-service Senior Medical Officers /Medical Officers. It appears from the order that the Government wants to provide short duration skill-up gradation courses to over come the shortage of man power and to ensure the optimum utilization of infrastructure developed by the department for various specializations referred to minimum eligibility conditions laid down for such SMO/MO for the purposes of their selection for skill-up gradation course and one of the condition is that the incumbent has 15 years of service left and condition No. 4 also CWP 12126/09 //2// stipulates that after obtaining the certificate he will serve for at least 15 years in Government of Rajasthan meaning thereby that who will to be trained by the Government at its expenditures, must have 15 years of service left to serve the Government of Rajasthan. Counsel for petitioner submits that 15 years service left, which is one of the conditions in the order, laid down by the respondents with regard to selection for short duration course is arbitrary and does not have any nexus with the object sought to be achieved. He further contended that one of the conditions Clause 2 stipulating of minimum 5 years of working experience relaxation has been granted by the Government, thus 15 years of service left can also be relaxed by this Court. In the opinion of this Court, the submission is without merit for the reason that the policy decision has been taken by the Government to provide short duration skill-up gradation courses to the eligible applicants serving as Senior Medical Officer/ Medical Officer with 15 years of service left to serve the Government of Rajasthan and appears to be reasonable for the reason that the training is imparted at the expense of the Government and certainly Government can take note of the CWP 12126/09 //3// period of service left with the incumbent to serve and this being a policy decision, this Court finds no illegally in such decision of the State Government which may call for any interference. So far as submission made with regard to relation in clause No. 2 of the order dated 20/05/2009 is concerned, there is no material placed by the petitioner on record. However, it is always for the State Government to take such policy decision or grating relaxation which cannot be said to be in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Consequently, this Court finds no substances in the writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. (Ajay Rastogi), J. Raghu-12126cw2009-final.doc
