SAMEER JAIN
Pankaj Yadav, S/o. Bhagwan Sahay Yadav – Appellant
Versus
Principal Secretary, Department Of Medical, Health And Family Welfare, Government Of Rajasthan – Respondent
JUDGMENT :
(Sameer Jain, J.)
1. In the present batch of writ petitions, the scope of the controversy involved, albeit not limited to but is broadly and predominantly defined by the challenge raised regarding the correctness and/or validity of the final answer key dated 06.08.2024, as issued by the respondents in terms of which the respondents have issued the final merit list which may further result in non-consideration of the candidature of the petitioners, solely for the reason that the preparation of the final merit is done in terms of wrongful and faulty answer key. Therefore, considering the fact that the writ petitions warrant adjudication on common questions of law; with the consent of learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the parties, SBCWP No. 14832/2024 titled as Dr. Pankaj Yadav Vs. State Of Rajasthan And Ors., is being taken up as the lead petition. It is cautiously clarified that any discrepancies in the present batch of writ petitions, pertain purely to the factual narratives contained therein and not viz-a-viz the questions of law to be determined by this Court and the instant judgment shall be made applicable on mutatis mutandis basis.
