1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6772/2008 Dalpat Singh v. State of Rajasthan & ors. Date of Order :: 24 th November, 2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Ramesh Purohit, for the petitioner. Mr. Shyam Toshniwal, for the respondents. .... The candidature of the petitioner for the purpose of appointment to the post of Prabodhak was denied on the count that he was lacking the teaching experience. From perusal of the documents Annexures-4 and 5, placed on record, it is apparent that the petitioner is working continuously as Teacher from 1.7.2003 and as such he completes the required teaching experience. It is also relevant to note that this Court in Beeram Ram Choudhary v. State of Rajasthan & Ors., SBCivil Writ Petition No.6273/2008, decided on 15.10.2008, has taken the view that if a person remained absent from duties or break in service for the reasons beyond his/her control, then that period is required to be considered as a part of teaching experience acquired. In the instant matter, the petitioner at first instance possessed the requisite teaching 2 experience and beside that also he was not permitted to join duties as teacher for some time because some illegal act on part of the Panchayat Raj Institution wherein the petitioner was employed as Para Teacher. In view of whatever stated above, the rejection of the petitioner's candidature from consideration for appointment as Prabodhak is not just. Accordingly, this petition for writ is allowed. The respondents are directed to consider candidature of the petitioner for the purpose of appointment as Prabodhak by treating him a person having requisite experience. The appointment be accorded to the petitioner, if he is otherwise eligible. ( GOVIND MATHUR ),J. kkm/ps.
