State Of Rajasthan – Respondent
JUDGMENT
1. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner aggrieved against the list dated 31.10.2022 (Annex.P/5), whereby, though the petitioner has marks higher than the cut-off, her name has not been reflected in the said list.
2. In response to the petition it has been indicated that the petitioner has not produced the mark-sheet of first year graduation where she had studied the computer application subject and only the final year mark-sheet was produced and, therefore, for lack of requisite computer qualification, she was held ineligible.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner referred to order in Hari Ram v. State of Rajasthan & Ors.: S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.16316/2022, decided on 10.11.2022, wherein, in similar circumstances the Court directed the respondents to take into consideration the mark-sheets of first year & second year of graduation by the petitioner therein and prayed that the petitioner may be accorded similar indulgence.
4. Learned counsel for the respondents made submissions that pursuant to the document verification, all the posts have been filled-up and, therefore, on that count also, the petitioner is not entitled to any relief.
