SBCWP5848/2010 // 1 // IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER IN S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.5848/2010 Vivek Gupta Vs. The State of Rajasthan and Another Date of Order ::: 29.04.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Shri Prem Kumar Sharma, Counsel for petitioner #### By the Court:- Petitioner has filed this writ petition making a grievance that respondents are discriminating to him because while in the case of Lecturer in Geography subject (School Education), they held screening test quite early and the result of which was declared earlier in March, 2010 but in the case of Lecturers in Hindi and Sanskrit subjects (School Education) such screening test would be held quite late, resultantly the candidates who applied for appointment on the post of Lecturers in Hindi & Sanskrit subjects (School Education) would get the facility of producing their B.Ed. Degree at a later point of time till when the result of such B.Ed. Examination is notified by the concerned Universities, however, in the case of Lecturer in Geography subject (School Education) like the petitioner, the respondents have extended the date of producing B.Ed. Degree up to 06.05.2010, the time when the interviews would SBCWP5848/2010 // 2 // be concluded. This, according to the learned counsel, is wholly discriminatory because the respondents would delay the holding of screening test in the case of petitioner also like they did for the candidates who applied for appointment on the post of Lecturers in Hindi & Sanskrit subjects (School Education) Such an argument cannot be countenanced because the respondents, as it is, have taken a more reasonable stand by extending the time limit for producing B.Ed. Degree up to 06.05.2010 when the interviews would be concluded. The last date for submission of the application form, as per the advertisement issued by the respondent RPSC, was 06.03.2010 till when the petitioner was admittedly not eligible. Learned counsel submitted that examination of the B.Ed. of the petitioner has so far not been held. What is pleaded by the petitioner is accepted that would introduce an element of uncertainty to the whole process of selection. The argument of discrimination also cannot be accepted because it is up to the respondent RPSC to decide at its own convenience as to when the screening test of Lecturer of a particular subject is held. The candidates applying for different subjects even if appearing in screening test at later point of time, that cannot be a reason to hold that respondent RPSC has subjected the petitioner to any kind of discrimination. SBCWP5848/2010 // 3 // The respondent RPSC as per the amended rules by the government, has already fixed the last date for submission of obtaining the Degree of qualifying examination till the date the interviews are over, and it cannot be said that it has acted unreasonably. I therefore do not find any merit in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. (Mohammad Rafiq) J. //Jaiman//
