VINOD KUMAR RAO Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE three writ petitions raise identical questions of law and facts, and hence have been heard together with consent of all concerned. All the three writ petitions are being disposed of by a common order.

(2.) VINOD Kumar Rao, petitioner in D. B. Civi Writ Petition No. 1596/1988, passed his matriculation examination in 1956. He passed his P. N. R. C. Examination in the year 1963. He was appointed as Compounder/male Nurse Gr. III on 13. 3. 1964. He was promoted as Male Nurse Gr. II on 13. 8. 1965,and was promoted Male Nurse Gr. I on 21. 10. 1977.

(3.) IT appears that the respondents challenged the aforesaid judgment dated 15. 12. 1988 by filing S. L. Ps. No. 1981-90 of 1992 (State of Rajasthan & Anor. Vs. Vinod Kumar Rao & Ors. etc.) which was decided on 08. 5. 1992. The Apex Court granted the S. L. Ps. and set aside the judgment of this court dated 15. 12. 1988. The Apex Court was of the view that the pleadings of the parties were not complete before the High Court and the different Government orders, circulars, letters, Rules etc; to which reference had been made by learned counsel for the parties before the Apex Court, were also not referred to before the High Court, and hence the Apex Court permitted both the sides to file affidavits explaining their cases in clear terms and to file copies of orders, circulars, letters or Rules, which may be relevant for arriving at the correct decision. The impugned judgments were, in the circumstances set aside and the appeals were allowed, and the cases were remitted to this court for rehearing and rendering fresh decisions according to law. This is how, these writ petitions have come before us.
