Order :
SANDEEP SHAH, J.
1. The present appeal is directed against the judgment dated 29th November 2022 passed in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.17316 of 2022 titled “Chander Shekhar v. State of Rajasthan”, whereby the learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition filed by the petitioner and directed the respondent (present appellants) to countersign the experience certificate of the petitioner and to grant the bonus marks to the petitioner, pursuant to Rule 273 of the RAJASTHAN PANCHAYATI RAJ RULES , 1996 (hereinaft
“Postmaster General & Ors. v. Living Media India Limited & Anr.”
Experience under transferred schemes is valid for bonus marks eligibility, and the state must provide justifiable reasons for delay in appeals.
State entities must substantiate claims for condonation of delay; administrative delays do not justify absence of diligence in legal proceedings.
Government departments must comply with the law of limitation, and experience gained under transferred schemes should be recognized for benefit entitlements.
Administrative lethargy and bureaucratic delays do not constitute sufficient cause for condoning inordinate delays by state in filing appeals; bona fides and vigilance required.
