PRESENT

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SHARMA

¶105

Mr. Jeetendra Kumar Sharma, for the petitioners. Mr. S.K. Gupta, AAG with Mr. Y.S. Jaduan, for respondent State.

¶106

BY THE COURT :

¶107

All these petitions agitate a common issue, and therefore are being decided by a common judgment.

¶108

The issue relates to admission of students selected under the

¶109

¶110

Special Pre-Metric Scholarship Scheme (including Dev Narayan Gurukul Yojna) (hereafter `the scheme'), in designated upper primary schools to the extent of seats in each school as determined by the State Government.

¶111

The State Government under its policy to incentivise education at the upper primary level and beyond for targetted SC/ST/ OBC (non Creamylayer) students visualised a scheme. Thereunder 1167 seats in the aggregate in 54 approved private schools to specific extent in each school was determined. These were to be filled from amongst the SC/ ST/ OBC (non Creamylayer) students. The method of selecting students for the scheme was to ascertain their merit on the basis of a state level common test. The allocation of school thereafter was based on merit-cum-choice of the selected students i.e. their merit position vis-a-vis the number of seats available at a given school preferred. This methodology has been set out in the notification dated 18-52017 issued by the Director, Secondary Education, Bikaner. Therein it has been provided that each of the student selected at the common test would be allowed to opt for five schools for admission to the seats available in the respective schools under the scheme. And in the event of any student not being admitted to a school opted, for reason of lower merit, he/ she would be considered for admission on vacant seats under the scheme in school nearest the residence of the students.

¶112

¶113

Mr. Jitendra Kumar Sharma, counsel for the petitioners submitted that about 90 seats in various approved schools in District Jhunjhunu are vacant and the 68 petitioners, all residents of District Jhunjhunu, who were not addmited to schools they opted for, be adjusted and admitted to such seats. It was submitted that the respondents were not so doing arbitrarily and hence these petitions for appropriate directions in the interest of student welfare and justice.

¶114

Per contra, Mr.S.K. Gupta, AAG has submitted that unlimited number of seats at the approved private schools in the aggregate and individually in the approved private schools under the scheme in issue do not obtain. It has been submitted that the State Government has a limited budget for the scheme and for that reason only 1167 seats at 54 approved private schools spread over 23 districts in the State of Rajasthan, have been identified. All seats in the approved private schools are not covered under the scheme, but only specified number of seats as determined by the Government at a specific approved school are covered. It has been submitted that in district Jhunjhunu there are 135 seats, in six approved private shools which were to be filled up under the scheme. Out of those only 7 vacant seats are available as of now. In terms of the notification dated 18-52017 issued under the hand of the Director, Secondary Education

¶115

¶116

Bikaner, the seven most meritorious students resident of District Jhunjhunu who did not get admission to a school opted for, seeking admission will be considered and admitted thereagainst. Mr. S.K. Gupta submitted that the intent and purpose of the petitioners in approaching this court is to seek enlargement of the number of seats under the scheme in different approved private schools by making it seem that all vacant seats in approved private schools irrespective of the limits under the Government's policy qua each school are to be filled up from amongst eligible SC/ST/ OBC (non-creamylayer) students. He submitted that more than the number of seats determined by the government at any approved private school for admission cannot be filled up under the scheme. It is a matter of policy of the State Government to determine the number of seats at approved private schools to be filled up under the scheme. The allocation of number of seats by the government at different approved private schools is not in any event under challenge, submitted Mr. S.K. Gupta. He finally submitted that in these circumstances the writ petition is without force and be dismissed.

¶117

Heard. Considered.

¶118

The State Government has initiated a welfare scheme for admission into schools at the upper primary level for targetted students of SC/ST/ OBC non-creamylayer. The petitioners can not agitate any question in regard thereto except on violation of its

¶119

¶120

terms. Nothing has been brought to the notice of the court from the scheme that it entails unlimited number of admissions to any private school approved by the State government without regad to the limit per school for such admission under the scheme by the State Government. The argument of Mr. S.K. Gupta that only specified number of seats in an approved private school as determined by the State Government are to be availed under the scheme and admission to that extent made is wholly in order and no controvert thereto has been forthcoming with reference to any specific term of the scheme. The rights of the meritorious students can be safeguarded only to the extent of the scheme—that is admission to an approved private school to the extent of seats determined for such school by the state government on the student's merit cum preference. This court cannot issue any direction in breach of the government's policy stated or otherwise as no arbitrariness in regard thereto has even been alleged what of being argued.

¶121

The petitioners can have a right for admission only with reference to the notification dated 18-5-2017. They can be considered for admission to the approved private school in District Jhunjhunu only to the extent of vacant seats in such schools with reference to 135 seats identified by State government in the six approved private schools in district Jhunjhunu for admission under the scheme.

¶122

¶123

It is accordingly directed that vacant seats with reference to the 135 approved seats in the six schools under the scheme in District Jhunjhunu be filled up with reference to the interse merit of the petitioners on verification of their home district as disclosed in the application form.

¶124

The petitions stand disposed of accordingly.
