S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4236/2007. ( RAM SINGH RAO VS. STATE ) DATE OF ORDER : 09.04.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Rajesh Shah for the petitioner. Mr. O.P. Boob for the respondents. The controversy involved in this petition for writ is no more res integra in view of a Division Bench judgment of this Court in the case of Devi Singh vs. State of Rajasthan & ors. reported in 2004 (2) CRR -924 holding therein that the selection grade cannot be withheld, merely on account of imposition of a penalty of censure. The present one is a case where the grant of selection grade was detained as the petitioner suffered with a penalty of censure under an order dated 18.06.2003. The deferment of the selection grade for a year is not proper in view of the law laid down by this Court in the case of Devi Singh (supra). This petition for writ, therefore, is allowed. The respondents are directed to consider case of the petitioner for the grant of selection grade w.e.f. 23.11.2003 ignoring the penalty of censure imposed by the Divisional Commissioner, Jodhpur under its order dated 18.06.2003.
