(2.) This petition has been preferred seeking the following relief:-

(3.) The petitioner had appeared in a recruitment exercise initiated by the respondents for appointment of Assistant Teachers. She claimed the benefits of reservation by virtue of belonging to the OBC category. By the impugned order however her candidature has been rejected with the respondent noting that the petitioner had furnished an OBC certificate which bore the name of her husband and not the father. Additionally, it was noted that the OBC certificate which carried the name of her father had been issued by an authority in the State of Rajasthan and thus was not liable to be accepted. The respondents ultimately referring to the provisions made in a Government Order of 04 December 2020, have consequently held that the petitioner cannot be offered appointment.
