SEEMA Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Petitioners herein before this Court are seeking a direction to the respondents to permit them to participate in the selection process for the post of Compounder / Nurse Junior Grade pursuant to advertisement dtd. 10/12/2024 (Annex.6) while allowing them to submit their respective internship certificates at the time of document verification, if they fall in merit.

(2.) Briefly speaking, the relevant facts as pleaded in the petition are that the petitioners participated in the counseling scheduled for Ayush Nursing Diploma on 8/12/2021 and enrolled in said course. They are now at the final stage of said diploma, undergoing their internship. Respondent No.4, vide advertisement dtd. 10/12/2024, invited applications for the post of Compounder/Nurse Junior Grade, requiring candidates who meet the eligibility criteria by the last date of application. However, due to the delayed commencement of the petitioners' internship, reportedly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, they have yet to complete their internship. As a result, they were held ineligible to participate in the recruitment process, despite fulfilling all other qualifications. Hence, this petition.

(3.) In the aforesaid backdrop, I have heard the rival contentions and gone through the case record.
