State of Rajasthan & Ors. : : Date of Order 22.8.2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Mr.S.K.Singh for the petitioner. Mr.B.L.Avasthi, Addl.Govt.Counsel for the State. This writ petition has been filed with a grievance that the respondents be directed to promote and appoint the petitioner on the post of Health Worker (Female). Shri S.K.Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the case of the petitioner was recommended by Chief Medical & Health Officer, Alwar by his letter dated 24.3.2005 to Additional Director (Administration), Medical & Health Services, Govt. of Rajasthan, Jaipur for promotion but nothing has been done. Even though in the letter it has been stated that the petitioner was serving on the post of Ward Maid at Primary Health Center, Gandala (Alwar) and she has qualified the training course and further there were 12 posts of Health Worker (Female) in Alwar District. The learned 2 counsel submitted that few other Ward Maids, who completed the training course, were appointed on the post of Health Worker (Female). Mr.B.L.Avasthi, learned Additional Government Counsel contested the writ petition and submitted that the source of recruitment on the post of Health Worker (Female) is by direct recruitment. Even though the petitioner has acquired the eligibility by completing the Health Worker (Female) training course, that by itself she cannot be held eligible for promotion. It has been submitted that in response to the letter received from CMHO, he was informed vide letter dated 12.5.2005 that the source of recruitment on the post of Health Worker (Female) was by direct recruitment and as and when the post was advertised, the petitioner may apply for the same. In the light of stand taken by the respondents and on perusal of Schedule appended of Rajasthan Nurses, Midwives, Health, Visitors & ANM Registration Act, 1964, it is evident that source of recruitment of Health Worker (Female) is by direct recruitment and, therefore, no direction can be given to the petitioner for promotion contrary to the rules. The petitioner may apply for appointment on such post as and when vacancies are advertised. 3 In the result, this writ petition is dismissed with the aforesaid observation. (MOHAMMAD RAFIQ)J.
