Case Note & Summary

The case involved a Special Leave Petition filed by Ajay Kumar Joshi and others against the State of Rajasthan concerning appointments to the posts of teachers in Zila Parishad. The petitioners had applied for and participated in the selection process for the posts of Gram Sewaks. During the hearing, the court noted that the petitioners were questioning a judgment related to teacher appointments, which was not applicable to their case as they were involved in a different selection process. The court referred to a separate judgment of the High Court regarding Gram Sewaks, which had already been addressed in other appeals. Consequently, the court determined that there was no need for separate adjudication in this matter. The application for permission to file the Special Leave Petition was dismissed, along with the interlocutory applications.
