1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1486/99 Anil Kumar Sharma vs. State & Anr. Date of order : 9/7/2008. HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri Nawab Ali for the petitioner. Smt. Parinitoo Jain, Dy. Govt. Counsel for the respondents. ****** This writ petition was filed by the petitioner way back in the year 1999 with the prayer that the respondents be directed to prepare merit list by fixing the cut off date on the date of preparing merit list, for awarding seniority bonus marks with reference to the year of vacancy and not the date of advertisement. Prayer has been made that the respondents be directed to award six seniority bonus marks and appoint the petitioner on the post of Teacher Gr.III against the vacancies of the year 1997 or 1998 and not to reject his candidates on the ground of his becoming overage. The respondents in their reply to the writ petition have come out with the plea that when the petitioner applied for appointment in 1996, process of selection 2 was stayed pursuant to the interim order passed by division bench of this Court. Fresh recruitment was then held in the year 1998. The respondents however disputed the contention of the petitioner that he would be within the merit and have stated that the calculation of the petitioner of his own merit by adding the marks of seniority was incorrect. In view of the stand taken by the respondents, now at this stage, no direction to the respondents to treat the petitioner eligible by postponing the cut off date can be given. The writ petition is dismissed. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ), J. RS/
