RAJASTHAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION Vs. REKHA SONI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a bunch of appeals involving identical issues and, therefore, they are being clubbed; and being heard and disposed of together.

(2.) THE learned Counsel for the appellants submits that the writ -petitioners are not of OBC category for the reason that they are not the permanent residents of the State of Rajasthan and that even if they might have been in reserve category in the other State but they cannot be given the status of OBC in this State.

(3.) THE learned Counsel for the appellants could not show that a person not born in the State of Rajasthan could not at all be granted the status of OBC. The fact remains that the petitioner's status of OBC in the State of Rajasthan was considered and thereafter, the State machinery issued respective certificates to the effect that she belongs to OBC class. This one appears to be the reason that the State has not appealed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge. The appellant, who is a recruiting agency, has to be guided by the State for the recruitment purposes. Once a certificate of OBC has been granted by the State, it has to be taken to be correct by the appellant. The appellant cannot challenge the status conferred upon the writ -petitioner by the State in the manner it has been done by filing these appeals.
