ABHISHEK GOYAL Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE Rajasthan Public Service Commission (for short "the RPSC") issued an advertisement for the post of Veterinary Officer. The petitioners applied for the selection and could find place in the reserve list at serial Nos.6 and 8. '

(2.) THE grievances of the petitioners are two fold. The first grievance is that against the candidates, who failed to join service after selection, the respondents should have exhausted reserve list, however, they failed to do so, inasmuch as, initially four candidates failed to join the post, which were then filled by the candidates from reserve list. Four other candidates further failed to join the post, however, against those vacancies, reserve list was not utilized on an erroneous ground that life of panel prepared by the RPSC lapsed in between.

(3.) THE Office Incharge, on the other hand submits that after issuance of panel, four posts remained vacant on account of non -joining of candidates, accordingly requisition was sent on 16.07.2009 for sending names of three general caste candidates and one OBC candidate. Copy of requisition so sent to the RPSC has been enclosed at Annex.R -2/2. It is stated that those posts were filled from the reserve list. It is admitted that against four more posts also, candidates did not join but they were granted six months' extension for joining and extended period of their joining came after expiry of the life of panel, thus requisition for four more names from the reserve list was not sent to the RPSC. If the four such posts are ordered to be filled -up from reserve list then it is no doubt that petitioners' names come therein as they stand at serial Nos. 6 and 8 and four posts from the reserve list have already been filled.
