The aforementioned question has been referred by the learned single Judge for consideration by a Larger Bench vide order dated 1.8.16 passed in S.B.C. Writ Petition No. 4529/16, noticing a conflict between two Single Bench decisions of this court in S.B.C. Writ Petition No. 3098/08 "Dr. Sandeep Goswami v. State of Rajasthan" and S.B.C. Writ Petition No. 3703/12 (reported in (2014) 2 Raj LW 1039); "Dr. Prafull Mehta v. State of Rajasthan & Anr.".
