1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4227/2008. (LICHHMAN RAM VS. STATE & ANR.) DATE OF ORDER : 16.07.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. S.D. Goswami for the petitioner. By this petition for writ, a direction is sought for Rajasthan Public Service Commission to allow the petitioner to appear in the Main Examination of Rajasthan Administrative Services and allied services examinations. The contention of the petitioner is that the respondents have called higher number of candidates than the ratio prescribed for General Categories and Other Backward Class, whereas the members of Scheduled Caste are called for in less numbers. It is also asserted by counsel for the petitioner that the respondent Commission is considering the candidature of the persons who stood in merit and are belonging to Scheduled Caste against the vacancies reserved for Scheduled Caste, though they are required to be considered against the general vacancies in view of the decision of this Court in the case of Bhawani Singh Kaviya & others vs. State of Rajasthan & others (SBCWP No.2307/2008) decided on 13.05.2008. 2 Having considered the arguments advanced and also record of the case, I do not find any substance in this petition for writ. From the facts averred in the case of Bhawani Singh Kaviya (supra) as cited by counsel for the petitioner, it is apparent that against 102 vacancies reserved for Scheduled Caste category, 1538 candidates are called for and that constitutes 15 times of the number of vacancies reserved for that category. As such, the contention of the petitioner that the members belonging to Scheduled Caste category is less than the requirement is having no foundation. The other contention of counsel for the petitioner is that the persons belonging to Scheduled Caste but having higher marks than the cut off marks in general categories are being considered against the vacancies reserved for Scheduled Caste is not having any factual foundation. Not a single instance is given by the petitioner wherein a person belonging to Scheduled Caste has secured marks higher than the cut off marks for general categories and is considered against the vacancies relating to reserved quota. The petition for writ is devoid of merit and same, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
