12.03.2025. The relevant portion of the order reads as under:
"8. This Court finds that the learned Single Judge of this Hon’ble Court has gone into the fact that Rule 19 clause (7) clearly requires that the bonus marks can be given towards any work which is done under the employment of the State Government, that is of similar nature, thus, entitling the concerned candidate
for award of bonus marks.
9. This Court further finds that Condition No.1 of clause (7) of Rule 19 of the Rules of 1965 itself is very clear that the ambit of the bonus marks is large and includes every employee of the State Government who has rendered similar nature of work for
the purpose of bonus marks.
10. The experience in the government hospital has been taken into account by the learned Single Judge so also the fact that the writ petitioners worked as Nursing Tutor cum Clinical Instructor, while also discharging the duties of Nurse Grade II was similar in
nature.
11. This Court also finds that the learned Single Judge in the impugned order has reproduced the job charts of Tutor/Senior Nursing Officer and has compared the same with the entitlement
of bonus marks of the persons discharging similar duties.
12. This Court further finds that the learned Single Judge has also noted that the Indian Nursing Council has offered dual appointment of teaching and discharging the actual duties in hospital for particular post; this could be easily akin to the Collegiate Doctors in the medical stream, where the doctors

13. This Court also finds the job responsibilities have been dealt with by the learned Single Judge at length. The learned Single Judge has rightly delved into the details of discharge of duties and also ambit of clause (7) of Rule 19 of the Rules of 1965, whereby job of the similar nature under the State Government is
entitled for bonus marks.
14. Since this Court is in agreement with the orders impugned passed by the learned Single Judge of this Hon’ble Court in the writ petitions and the controversy involved in the aforesaid
