The State of Rajasthan v. Anjana Kumari D/O Shri Mahendra Singh W/O Shri Surendra Kumar

What is this about?

State appeals allowed against Single Judge order dated 10.02.2022 permitting candidates rejected for lacking prescribed qualification for Health Worker (Female) posts (Advertisement 18.06.2018; qualification: X standard + ANM/Health Worker (Female) course, B Grade registration with Rajasthan Nursing Council) under the Rajasthan Medical & Health Subordinate Service Rules, 1965. Division Bench holds the Single Judge wrongly relied on Firdos Tarannum (D.B. Civil Special Appeal (Writ) No. 534/2005 — a Teacher Grade-III (Urdu) matter) instead of adjudicating afresh on merits as directed by the Supreme Court in The State of Rajasthan v. Gomi (Civil Appeal No. 6559/2023, order dated 14.02.2024), and that the Rules of 1965 contain no equivalence clause between the 'Adeeb' qualification and the 10th standard. Order dated 10.02.2022 set aside; all matters remanded to the learned Single Judge for fresh decision in light of Gomi; delay condoned under Section 5, Limitation Act; pending applications disposed. Connected matters include D.B. Special Appeal Writ Nos. 143, 144, 160, 164, 167, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 176, 177, 178, 180, 181, 182, 188, 190, 208, 237, 261, 1061, 1073/2023; 22/2024; 302–348, 356–364, 369–372, 374, 377–392, 399, 401, 405–418, 428, 431, 465, 478, 543, 893/2025; and 168/2023.
