(1.) Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the issue involved in present writ petition is squarely covered by judgment rendered by Jaipur Bench of this Hon'ble Court in case of Surja Ram and Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan and Ors. - SBCW No.3082/2018, decided on 09.02.2018. The judgment reads as under:-
(2.) Undeniably, the petitioners have already been accorded appointment. However, State-respondents have declined seniority and other benefits to the petitioners from the date the petitioners became entitled on account of revision of the result while candidates lower in merit to the petitioners have been accorded those benefits. Thus, the petitioners have claimed benefit of pay fixation and seniority on notional basis from the date juniors to the petitioners, have been accorded in the same recruitment process of the year 2012.
(3.) Accordingly, the State-respondents are directed to extend the benefit of pay fixation and seniority on notional basis to the petitioners from the date junior(s) to the petitioner(s) has/have been accorded with reference to the same recruitment process of the year of 2012.
