S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3471/2010 Anju vs State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order: 7.4.2010 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA,J. Mr.GJ Gupta, for the petitioner. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner was given appointment on the post of Teacher Grade-III as Primary School Teacher in District Rajsamand on 12.1.2008. The petitioner's contention is that she was entitled to have appointed in District Sri Ganganagar as per her merit. She came to know subsequently that a lower merit person has been given appointment in the District Sri Ganganagar, therefore, the petitioner has prefered this writ petition on 5.4.2010 to challenge the action of the respondents. Learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the judgment of this court delivered in the case of Mamata Rani Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors (SBCWP No.3145/2008, decided on 10.4.2009) following the earlier judgment of this Court passed in SBCWP No.7922/2005 wherein it was observed that once the respondents themselves desired the preference of the candidate then they should honour the preference. I considered the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner. After the decision rendered in the aforesaid writ petitions, several writ petitions were filed seeking same type of relief before this Court on the ground but the same have been dismissed. It is settled law that person who was sitting on the fence is not entitled to relief simply because of the reason that others who were vigilant and got the relief. The petitioner who was appointed on the post of Teacher Grade-III in the Primary School in Rajsamand in the year 2008 and accepted that appointment and remained satisfied till she found that some other has been given appointment in the District Sri Ganganagar is not entitled to any relief after such an inordinate delay of two years and particularly when it is a matter relating to the teaching. This bench also dismissed several writ petitions of similar nature, therefore, the present writ petition deserves to be dismissed. In view of the above, the writ petition of the petitioner is hereby dismissed. [PRAKASH TATIA], J. cpgoyal/-
