2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that

the facts in the present case is similar to the facts in D.B. Civil

Writ Petition No. 11737/2024 (Rodu Lal & Ors. Vs. State of

Rajasthan & Ors.), decided on 26.08.2025.

3. The relevant paragraphs of the order dated 26.08.2025

passed in the case of Rodu Lal (Supra) reads as follows:-

“41. In light of the aforesaid facts & findings and the

judgments, this Court is of the opinion that Rule 3 of the Rules

of 2022 has to be read harmoniously, whereby, the petitioners

and similarly situated persons, who have been appointed

through placement agency after issuance of public

advertisement are to be covered under the ambit of Rule 3 of

the Rules of 2022. Since, the above rule has been read

harmoniously in favour of the petitioners, therefore, there is

no requirement to decide question No. (b), which was framed

under para 13. The harmonious reading of the Rule itself

clarifies that, there ought to be no discrimination between the

contractual employees appointed through placement agency

as well as the contractual employees appointed directly.

42. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petitions are allowed in

the following terms: (i) The respondents shall consider the

individual case of each contractual employee, appointed prior

to enforcement of the Rules of 2022 strictly in accordance with

Rule 3 of the Rules of 2022, meaning thereby, that if an

employee has been appointed on a post created by the

Administrative Department with the concurrence of the

Finance Department and the appointment has been through

issuance of a public advertisement further without there being

any differentiation whether the public advertisement has been

issued by the State Government or by the placement agency.

(ii) If the case of the individual is in conformation with the

Rule 3 of the Rules of 2022, as interpreted above, then the

benefit of the Rules of 2022 shall be extended to such

petitioners.

43. All pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.”

disposed of in the same terms as in the case of Rodu Lal & Ors.
