SBCWP NO.6597/94. 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR. O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION No.6597/1994. Ramesh Kumar Sharma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date of Order:- February 11, 2009. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Hemant Gajraj for the petitioner. Shri Zakir Hussain, Additional Government Counsel. Shri S.N. Kumawat for RPSC. ****** BY THE COURT:- This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner being aggrieved by rejection of his candidature by the respondent-R.P.S.C. for appointment on the post of Principal (Pracharya). 2) Shri Hemant Gajraj, learned for the petitioner has argued that petitioner was having qualification of M.A. in English and that he also had teaching experience working as Lecturer in Sanskrit in the Sanskrit Education Department from 10/6/1990 and onwards. 3) Respondents have justified their decision on the premise that advertisement was issued under the Rajasthan Sanskrit Education Service Rules indicating that Acharya Degree will be treated as SBCWP NO.6597/94. 2 equivalent to M.A. Degree and Shastri degree but a candidate must possess atleast the Second Division Acharya degree with minimum teaching experience of 8 years of Acharya and/or Shastri classes. 4) Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material on record, I find that since appointment was to be made on the post of Acharya in Sanskrit language and since the petitioner worked as Lecturer in English in College Education Department w.e.f. 1/12/1984 to 9/6/1992 and thereafter he had worked as Lecturer in English in Sanskrit Education Department from 10/6/1992 onwards, hence, candidature of the petitioner could not be considered against the advertised post. It was further argued that even though petitioner had the teaching experience of Acharya in English but not the requisite experience of 8 years, hence his claim cannot be accepted. There is no merit in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ) J. anil
