1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2975/2009 (Smt. Sofiyana Khatun Vs. State & Ors.) Date of order : 10.04.2009 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. N.R. Choudhary, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. In this case, the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that she applied for admission in BSTC Course under the category of divorced woman. In the written examination conducted by the respondents, she secured 332 marks but she was not called for counselling under the category of divorced woman. Further, it is stated in the writ petition by the petitioner that those candidates belonging to the divorced woman category who secured 293 and 240 marks were called for counselling and they were granted admission whereas the petitioner who has secured 332 marks was denied admission without assigning any reasons. The petitioner has placed on record Annexure- 1 – divorce decree passed by competent Court. On the strength of said decree, the petitioner filled in the 2 admission form and shown her candidature under the category of divorce woman, which is evident from Annexure-3. In this view of the matter, apparently, it appears that the petitioner has been denied admission under the category of divorced woman even though she secured 332 marks and candidates under the same category who secured lesser percentage of marks were called for counselling and were granted admission by the respondents. In this view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents that they shall ascertain from the record whether the petitioner has filed application for admission under the category of divorced woman and upon enquiry, if it is revealed that the petitioner has applied for admission under the category of divorced woman and candidates having lesser percentage of marks have been granted admission, then, the case of the petitioner may also be considered for admission. This exercise shall be completed by the respondents within a period of fifteen days from the date of submitting certified copy of this order. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. arun
