Counsel *** Instant petition has been filed assailing condition of preparing merit list on district- wise basis while making selection for the post of GNM in pursuance of short-term advertisement dated 4th May, 2007. Counsel for petitioner submits that adopting different standards for preparing merit of the applicants despite the fact that the post of GNM is included in the Schedule appended to Rajasthan Medical & Health Subordinate Service Rules, to be filled on the basis of open selection preparing district-wise merit, is in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution.

The appointments are directed to be given thereupon strictly in order of merit irrespective of the place from a candidate is coming and CW 4909/07 [2] while considering the merit of the candidates, all the applications already submitted, pursuant to the first and second advertisement would be taken into consideration. The corrigendum dated 21.01.2008 is set aside, accordingly, while maintaining the corrigendum dated 25.08.2007.” Counsel for respondents, despite opportunity being afforded, is unable to assist this court and submits that file is not available with him. It is usual practice of Government Advocate to make such mention as and when matters are being taken up. It is expected from the Government Office to keep their office in order and is expected to assist this court. So far as instant matter is concerned, earlier it came on board on 14th July, 2008. Request was made for short adjournment on behalf of Government Advocate and at his request, the matter has come up today still despite notice he is unable to assist the court. In the light of judgment [supra], the writ petition stands disposed of. [AJAY RASTOGI], J. FRBOHRA4909CW2007 16-7.doc
