[1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 5701/1999 JITENDRA KUMAR Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN & ANR. DATE: 10.09.2007. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.S. RATHORE Mr. Sri Ram Yadav for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Chhaba, Dy. GA for the State Mr. R.A. Katta for the respondent No.2 **** This writ petition is preferred by the petitioner seeking writ, order or direction directing the respondents to prepare the merit State-wise and not District-wise. As per the learned counsel for the respondents, subsequently the respondents decided to prepare the merit list State-wise instead of District- wise, but this benefit cannot be extended in favour of the petitioner. Now the only controversy remains in this writ petition is whether the petitioner being a bonafide resident of the Rajasthan State and undergone the studies in Haryana, is eligible to be considered being bonafide resident of the State or not? [2] Although the respondents led a criteria that one who has passed the Secondary Examination from Rajasthan State, shall only be considered being bonafide resident of Rajasthan State, but I am not convinced with this submission and if the petitioner is a bonafide resident of Rajasthan State even he passed the Secondary Examination from other State, he is eligible for consideration being a bonafide resident if he applied in future for admission in PTET. With these observations, the writ petition stands partly allowed. The stay application stands rejected. (K.S. RATHORE),J. /KKC/
