Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a challenge to the selection procedure for the post of Gram Sewak cum Paden Sachive in Rajasthan. The primary legal issue involves the validity of a government circular that provided additional marks (weightage) to candidates based on residency and other criteria. The Court examined whether such modalities in the selection process complied with the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996.
