(2.) IN the writ petition, it is averred by the petitioner that pursuant to advertisement dated 10th of March 2013, application form was submitted by her with all requisites. Thereafter, the Incharge of Examination issued a notice dated 10th of April 2014 whereby it was conveyed to some applicants who are permitted to appear provisionally to clarify the position about their candidature in the office on or before 31st of May 2014 else candidature of these incumbent shall not be considered. In response to the said notice, petitioner approached the respondent and submitted her proficiency certificate of RSCIT for RKCL's MS Office 2010 practical test and also informed that she has appeared in the theory examination of RSCIT on 28th of May 2014. While divulging these informations, the petitioner made a request to the respondent not to reject her candidature. On receipt of the necessary papers submitted by petitioner, requisite exercise was undertaken by the respondent and it was found that she is lacking basic eligibility, and consequently in the reject list issued by the respondent name of petitioner was also indicated.

(3.) THE contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner appeared in the written examination and was declared successful, therefore, rejection of her candidature is per -se unjust and improper. Learned counsel, Mr. Jangid has also argued that the eligibility conditions prescribed by the respondent in the advertisement are in variance with the advertisement issued by the other District judgeships of the State of Rajasthan, and therefore, rejection of candidature of the petitioner cannot be sustained. Mr. Jangid has also urged that petitioner has qualified the practical examination of RSCIT and she has appeared in the theory examination, therefore, she is eligible to participate in the selection process.
