1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4302/2005 (Rajendra Kanwar Vs. State of Raj. & Ors.) Date of order : 11.8.2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. M.S. Godara, for the petitioner. Mr. C.S. Ojha, Dy. Govt. Counsel. Heard learned counsel for the parties. It is pointed out by learned counsel for the petitioner that vide Annexure-1, the petitioner was provided adhoc appointment till duly selected candidates are made available or for one year. This appointment was made to the petitioner when she was working on the post of 'anganwadi' worker for which there is a provision in the Rajasthan Women & Child Development (State & Subordinate Service) Rules, 1998 for promotion from the post of 'anganwadi' worker to the post of Supervisor. The petitioner's claim is that she is possessing the qualification for promotion, therefore, she has been rightly appointed on adhoc basis against the quota of 25%, which is meant for 'anganwadi' workers. 2 The petitioner is challenging the order Annexure-7 dated 2.1.2004 whereby it is observed in the order that the petitioner is not possessing equivalent qualification to the Secondary. More specifically, the petitioner is possessing qualification of 'madhyama' and in the Rules of 1998, there is no provision for providing appointment to the person possessing equivalent qualification of higher secondary. I have perused the qualification for promotion on the post of Supervisor from the post of 'anganwadi workers', which is Matriculate/Secondary of a recognized Board or Higher Secondary under old Scheme of a recognized Board & must have completed 10 years as Anganwadi Workers. In this view of the matter when the petitioner is not possessing qualification laid down under the Rules, then, there is no question of considering her candidature for promotion on the post of Supervisor. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is made clear that in the respondent Department, no person shall be appointed contrary to the qualification as provided under the Rules of 1998 on the post of Supervisor.
