JUDGMENT : 1. The matter comes up on an application (IA No. 1/19) preferred on behalf of Rajasthan High Court for modification of the interim order dated 13.02.2019 passed by this Court, which reads as under: "In the meanwhile, the petitioner shall be provisionally permitted to appear in the competitive examination of District Judge Cadre, 2018, if he is found otherwise eligible. The appearance of the petitioner in the examination shall not create any right or equity in his favour. The result of the petitioner shall not be declared without permission of this Court." 2. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents/applicants submits that though not identical to the facts of the present case, but pertaining to the same recruitment, a controversy came before the Supreme Court and later before this Court at Jaipur Bench, where in-service candidates claiming themselves to be eligible for being appointed to the post advertised, sought a writ in the nature of mandamus. Initially, the Supreme Court was pleased to grant interim order, but later on vide order dated 10.05.2019 passed in SLP No. 14156/2015 (Dheeraj Mor v. Honble High Court of Delhi), the prayer for grant of interim order was refused. The operative portion of the order dated 10.05.2019 passed by Supreme Court reads as under: "We make it clear that we are not disturbing the appointments which have been made so far by virtue of such interim orders. However, no new appointments be made from now onwards of in-service candidates against quota reserved for Bar. In case even if inservice candidate has been selected in the examination held earlier as against the Bar quota no further appointment to be made of such candidates. However, the practicing advocates who have been found selected for appointment, their result be declared and they be appointed subject to the outcome of the pending matter." 3. Learned counsel submitted that in the light of order dated 10.05.2019 an application was preferred on behalf of Rajasthan High Court for modification being I.A. No. 65564/2019 in W.P. (C) No. 1302/2018 (Ramavtar Pareek & Ors. v. Rajasthan High Court & Ors.) before the Supreme Court, wherein the Supreme Court passed the following order on 24.05.2019: "Since we have already passed an order dated 10.05.2019, the order shall hold good for this interlocutory application also. In view of the above, the application is disposed off." 4.
v. Rajasthan High Court & Ors.) before the Supreme Court, wherein the Supreme Court passed the following order on 24.05.2019: "Since we have already passed an order dated 10.05.2019, the order shall hold good for this interlocutory application also. In view of the above, the application is disposed off." 4. Learned counsel submitted that in the light of said order passed by Supreme Court, the High Court has been given liberty to declare the result while withholding the appointment of persons, in whose favour interim order has been passed, therefore, the interim order passed in the instant case also deserves to be modified and the respondent Rajasthan High Court deserves to be permitted to declare the result of written examination of the petitioner alongwith other candidates. 5. It is further prayed that in case the petitioner is eventually selected, his appointment may be ordered to be withheld in view of order dated 10.05.2019 read with order dated 24.05.2019 passed by the Supreme Court. 6. The application is not opposed by learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the application (IA No. 1/19) is allowed. The respondent Rajasthan High Court is permitted to declare the result of written examination of the petitioner as and when the result of the written examination of other candidates is declared. If the petitioner stands in merit, he may be interviewed, but if he is eventually selected his result shall be kept in sealed cover and he shall not be accorded appointment without permission of this Court.
