Teena Arya Appellant
V/S
STATE OF RAJASTHAN Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the issue involved in present writ petition is squarely covered by the 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.) In the result, this writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to treat the petitioners senior to respondents No.4 to 8 as per their placement in the merit list."

(3.) 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.
