iii. Any other order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the present case in favour of the Petitioners."

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners, at the very outset, has relied upon orders passed by this Court in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.18011/2025 titled as Dr. Harshpreet Kour Vs. State of Rajasthan and Others dated 10.02.2026 and S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.19839/2025 titled as Dr. Yash Vardhan Vs. State of Rajasthan and Others dated 16.02.2026. 3.
