06/02/2013 and for the post of FHW, the qualifications were laid down which required a candidate to have 10th standard with Auxiliary Nurse Midwifery/Health Worker Female Course passed and registered with the Rajasthan Nursing Council as B Grade Nurse. There is no examination conducted for selection nor there is an interview. Thus, the selection is based only on the marks obtained in the qualifying course. As per amendment in Rule 19 of the Rules of 1965, the proviso provided that 'in case of appointment to the post other than Pharmacists, which are not in the purview of Commission, merit shall be prepared by the Appointing Authority on the basis of the marks obtained in such qualifying academic examination or professional examination or both as specified in the Schedule appended to these Rules and such bonus marks as may be specified by the State Government having regard to the length of experience on similar work under the Government, National Rural Health Mission and Medicare Relief Society and provided further that the decision of the Commission or Appointing Authority as the case may be as to the eligibility or otherwise of a candidate shall be final. ' Learned counsel further submitted that as there was no interview or written examination, the proviso added to Rule 11 of the Rules of 1965 would have no application for the purpose of selection for the post in question. Learned counsel further submitted that the process conducted by the selecting body of verification of documents by counselling cannot be said to be similar to interview and therefore, the cut-off date as provided under the proviso to Rule 11 of the Rules of 1965 i.e. the last date of interview cannot be treated as equal to that of last date of counselling.
