1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4115/08 Hemraj Meena vs. State & Anr. Date of order : 20/7/2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Rajendra Vaish for the petitioner. Shri L.N. Boss for the respondent. ****** Contention of petitioner is that he ought to have been considered eligible for being sent on deputation on the post of B.D.O. Learned counsel submitted that the application of the petitioner has been arbitrarily rejected. Learned counsel further submitted that the petitioner was promoted on the post of Panchayat Prasar Officer by order dated 14.9.04 and therefore the experience of 14 years as indicated in last column of notification dated 16.10.07 should be construed to have been 14 years total experience in the government service not on the post of Panchayat Prasar Officer, particularly when, in the column relating to pay scale, the eligibility requirement for such an incumbent is that he should be receiving salary at the maximum of 2 Rs.5,450/- in the pay scale of 5000-8000. It is contended that the very fact that 14 years is written as requirement in last column indicates that this was not related only on the post of Panchayat Prasar Officer because in that event the incumbent would have received at least 14 increments taking the pay to much higher than which is in the pay scale of Rs.5500/-. In my considered view, such an argument cannot be continenced because two columns are different. The pay scale is indicated separately whereas the experience of 14 years is indicated in different column. When compared with similar experience required in different services such as Rajasthan Medical and Health Services, Rajasthan Animal Husbandry, Rajasthan Industrial Service and Rajasthan Education Service etc, it is observed that in most of the services what is required is only three years whereas in somewhat lower posts such as District Industries Officer, Extension Officer, Inspector Cooperative etc., the experience required is of 9 years in comparison to other where it is indicated as three years. 3 It is therefore evident that in this case a higher period of experience is insisted upon by the respondents. No rule to say that this period of 14 years is required of entire government service and not on the post of Panchayat Prasar Officer has been cited. I do not find any merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
