Learned counsel for both the parties are in agreement that the issue involved in these writ petitions has been considered and decided by this Court in the matter of State of Rajasthan & Ors. Vs. Krishna Kumar passed in S.B. C.W.P. No.5926/2022 along with 44 connected petitions decided on 27.09.2022 wherein it has been held as under:-

¶199

“43. In view of the above discussion, allowing or dismissing the writ petitions will not solve the problem which can affect the rights of the employees in the department and it will be injustice to them by not giving them promotion in the year from which they are entitled and that will affect their work performance also. The respondent-State is duty bound more particularly the police department to determine the year wise vacancies as per the procedure prescribed under the Rules and to hold promotional activities every year as mentioned in the Rules of 1989 and to hold the departmental written examination for promotion from the post of Constable to Head Constable and from Head Constable to ASI. As recorded above, the State Government has admitted its mistake in their additional affidavit filed before this Court on 16.04.2022 that some mistake has been committed in calculating the year wise vacancy then no option left with this Court except to direct the State Government to again determine the year wise vacancy, to hold the written examination every year and prepare the select list/approved list every year as per the Scheme of Rules of 1989. Now it shall determine the year wise vacancy as the officers of the department more particularly the Commissionerate of Jaipur has already failed in its duty to determine the year wise vacancy and complete the promotional exercise, therefore, under the facts and circumstances, I deem it just and proper to dispose of these writ petitions with the following directions :-

¶200

(10 of 10)

¶201

[CW-11797/2022]

¶205

(v) The orders passed by the Tribunal impugned in the respective petitions stand modified accordingly in the above terms.”
