Kuldeep Mathur, J
URN: CW / 13923U / 2026
S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7639/2026
For the Appellants/Petitioners: Yash Pal Khileree
For the Respondents: Tanuj Jain, Mukesh Dave, Mahaveer Pareek
Multipurpose Workers (Male) without requisite training are entitled to the revised pay scale of Rs. 950-1680 upon completing 10 years of service, as per the Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay Scales) (Sixteenth Amendment) Rules, 1993.
Headnote:The matter pertains to the Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay Scales) (Sixteenth Amendment) Rules, 1993. The petitioners, serving as Multipurpose Workers, sought the benefit of a specific pay scale (Rs. 950-1680) upon completing 10 years of service, despite not having undergone the required three-month training. The court found the issue to be covered by a previous decision of a coordinate bench. The central issue is whether a Multipurpose Worker who did not undergo training is entitled to the pay scale outlined in the notification dated 06.10.1993 after 10 years of service. The court reasoned that the notification explicitly provides for persons not possessing requisite qualifications to draw the pay scale upon completion of 10 years of service. the present writ petition is also disposed of on the same terms and directions as in Mangi Lal (supra)

1. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the issue rests covered by the judgment passed by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Mangi Lal Sharma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.; S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.10332/2015 and other connected matters (decided on 12.02.2024).
2. Counsel for the respondents is not in a position to refute the above submission.
3. In Mangi Lal (supra), the Court observed and held as under:
“6. The controversy before this Court is pivoted on answer to the question, whether a Field Worker, who did not undergo three months of training as a Health Worker and was consequently not assigned to the position of Health Worker but continued to work as a Multipurpose Worker, would be entitled to the pay scale outlined in the notification dated 06.10.1993 (Annexure-5) upon completing 10 years of service?
7. The answer is in affirmative. Reasons are not far to seek. Foremost, reference may be had to the office circular dated 16.07.1992 (Annexure-9) issued by the Medical and Health Department, Government of Rajasthan. At serial No. 15, it explicitly states that the position of Field Worker (Male) would be redesignated as Health Worker (Male) / Multipurpose Worker.
8. Pertinently, in the process of redesignation, no distinction has been made between the Health Worker (Male) and Multipurpose Worker.
9. No doubt, an individual who has completed the three months of training as outlined in the notification dated 30.11.1994 (Annexure-3) would be entitled to work in the capacity of Health Worker (Male).
10. It is undisputed that the petitioners have not undergone the three months of training, and they continue to serve as Multipurpose Health Workers, as is the case even today.
11. What thus has to be seen is if the petitioners are entitled to the benefit of the notification dated 06.10.1993 (Annexure-5). For ready reference, the same is reproduced hereunder:-
