(2.) THE petitioner is employed on the post of Cook Cum Attendant in the Medical and Health Department of the State of Rajasthan. According to the petitioner he is a Class-IV servant of the State Govt. His name was included in the seniority list of Class-IV employees of the S. P. Medical College, Bikaner. THE petitioner claims to be eligible for promotion to Class-III services under the Rajasthan Subordinate Offices Ministerial Staff Rules, 1957. According to him, two Class-III posts are lying vacant in the Office of the Principal, S. P.

On the Principal of College refusing to consider him to be a Class IV servant and therefore not considering him for promotion to the Class-III post, the petitioner served a notice demanding justice on the respondents. However, when no relief was given, the petitioner filed this petition challenging the decision of the Principal, S. P. Medical College, Bikaner not to consider him to be a Class IV Servant and therefore considering him ineligible for promotion.
