MANOHAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE Rajasthan Public Service Commission, issued a notification Anx. 3 inviting applications for some posts of Jr. Lecturers/ist Grade Teachers. THE qualification required for the candidates to apply for the post was post graduate in respective subject and B. Ed. with five years teaching experience in the Sr. Higher Secondary School. In pursuance of this advertisement the petitio- ner who is M. A. in Political Science with B. Ed. degree and had 5 years' teaching experience, applied for the post. His application was entertained and he qualified the written examination held on 10. 4. 94. However, his candidature was cancelled by respondents no. 2 & 3 on the ground that he did not possess the requisite qualification of teaching experience after passing B. Ed. examination.

(2.) THE petitioner's case is that he had the experience of teaching and he had enclosed the certificate Anx. 6 regarding his teaching experience but the respondents are denying the candidature of the petitioner on the ground that his five years teaching experience was not posterior to the B. Ed. degree. It has been averred that the cancellation of the candidature by the respondents is arbitrary and illegal. It was prayed that the petitioner be declared entitled to appear for the interview held on 28. 4. 94 and he may be appointed on the post of Jr. Lecturer in the respondent department.

(3.) I have given my thoughtful consideration to the above contentions.
