----Respondents

For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Yashpal Khileree

For Respondent(s) : --

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP MATHUR

Order

12/05/2026

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. 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.

[2026:RJ-JD:22651] (3 of 5) [CW-8431/2026]

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:-
