JUDGMENT 1. - Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Learned counsel for the parties submit that the controversy involved in these writ petitions stands settled by a Bench of this Court in the case of Panna Lal Joshi v. State of Rajasthan & Ors., 2006 (6) RDD 3458 (Raj.) 3458 . The relevant para nos. 16 and 18 of the said judgment are as under:- "16. Coming to the merit of the case, it appears to us that to the extent a person how has passed Senior Secondary (Vocational) Course has to be treated as eligible on its own force without referring his other qualifications of Senior Secondary (Academic) and the Bridge Course for considering his eligibility if the recruitment to posts in question is concluded by the decision of Supreme Court. In that event the petitioner is entitled to claim determination of his merit on the basis of his marks in Senior Secondary (Vocational) Examination itself without recourse to marks obtained in Bridge Course which does not fall within the ambit of necessary qualification. It is not a case that the person is required to hold both the qualifications i.e. Senior Secondary(Vocational) as well as Senior Secondary(Academic). If a person is holding the only qualification of Senior Secondary(Academic) , the requirement of having a bridge course was additional to it. In that event, considering the marks obtained at Higher Secondary or Bridge Course together may be considered. However, when Secondary Senior (Vocational) Course itself is complete required qualification one cannot be denied merit by referring to marks obtained in bridge course. ....... xxxx ..... xxxxxxx. ..xxxx. 18.
