DAVENDRA SINGH RATHORE Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Present special appeal was filed by the appellant assailing the judgment of the learned Single Judge of this Court dated 26.3.2002. Petitioner has stated that he was appointed on compassionate grounds under the Rajasthan (Recruitment of Dependents of Government Servants Dying While in Service) Rules, 1975 (for short 'the Rules'). His appointment was to be governed by Rule 5 of the rules. Rule 5 reads as under :-

(2.) According to the proviso of this rule, an appointment could be made on a post which was within the purview of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (R.P.S.C.) if the Appointing Authority is satisfied in consultation with the Department of Personnel and the R.P.S.C. that the dependent of the deceased Govt. servant as qualified and suitable for appointment to such post. From the record, we do not find that any such consultation is available whereby the State Govt. and the R.P.S.C. has opined that the appointment of the Revenue Inspector (Land Records) was approved by the Appointing Authority in consultation with the Department of Personnel and R.P.S.C. in absence of consultation as envisaged in the proviso under Rule 5, the claim of the petitioner does not appear to be one which requires consideration.

(3.) The learned Single Judge in his judgment has referred that the petitioner had earlier filed a writ petition which went upto the Division Bench. Regarding those proceedings, the learned Single Judge has mentioned that the writ petition was disposed of as having become infructuous, then a review petition was filed, then a Division Bench Special Appeal was filed. It has been noticed by the learned Single Judge that the facts of Writ Petition No. 2674/92 have not been mentioned in the present writ petition and that goes to show that in the writ petition, certain facts were held back by the petitioner.
