Judgment / Order

17/07/2025

This writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of

India is directed against the order dated 27.09.2023 passed by

the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal, Jaipur (for brevity

“the Tribunal”) whereby, while accepting the Appeal No.293/2004

preferred by the respondent No.1, a direction has been issued to

consider his candidature for promotion to the post of Clerk Grade-

II as per his seniority list and in case, he is found suitable for the

promotion, to extend him this benefit with all consequential

benefits.

[2025:RJ-JP:26644] (2 of 2) [CW-2466/2025]

The sole contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner,

assailing the direction issued by the Tribunal vide order dated

27.09.2023, is that since the respondent No.1 is working as a

cook, he is not eligible and entitled for promotion to the post of

Clerk Grade-II. He, however, could not dispute that the petitioner-

Department itself has extended promotion to the persons holding

the post of Langri/Cook to the post of Junior Clerk on previous

occasions as also that while allowing the appeal No.1462/1997:

Shri Praveen Kumar versus Director General of Police, the

Tribunal, vide its order dated 25.08.1999, issued a direction for

promotion of the appellant-a Cook to the post of Clerk and SB Civil

Writ Petition No.5864/1999: State of Rajasthan & Anr. versus

Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal & Anr. preferred

thereagainst was dismissed by a coordinate Bench of this Court

vide order dated 02.12.1999.

In view of the aforesaid admitted factual and legal position,

nothing survives for consideration of this Court in the instant writ

petition.

Resultantly, this civil writ petition is dismissed being devoid

of merit. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of.
