NATWAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE petitioner, in the instant writ application, has prayed for the following relief(s): - -

(2.) BRIEFLY , the skeletal material facts necessary for appreciation of the controversy raised herein needs to be first noticed. The petitioner participated in the recruitment process in response to the advertisement dated 25th November, 2010, issued by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (hereinafter referred to as the 'Commission', for short), for the post of Sub -Inspector. It is pleaded case of the petitioner that he secured 145.37 marks in Hindi, and 135.66 marks in General Knowledge, but was accorded only 16 marks in the Interview. Thus, the petitioner despite securing 297.03 marks in aggregate, could not find place in the merit list of the selected candidates. According to the petitioner, some of the candidates, who secured less marks than the petitioner in the Written Examination as well as Physical Efficiency Test, were able to secure very high marks in Interview, whereas the petitioner has not been accorded proper marks he deserved despite his better performance, as would be reflected from the marks secured in Written Examination. Hence, the impugned result dated 25th February, 2013, suffers with the vice of arbitrariness, illegality and malice.

(3.) I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and with his assistance, perused the materials available on record.
