After hearing learned counsel for the parties and perusing record, this Court is of the opinion that the law laid down by this Court in Roopa Ram Meghwal (supra) while following Pinal Singh Ranawat (supra) and Shivom Gupta (supra) read with judgment of Gajendra Singh (supra) clearly indicate that a person having qualification of Computer Application in graduation shall be entitled to be considered as qualified for the computer qualification or any Diploma or Computer Operator & Programming Assistant (COPA) or Data Preparation and Computer Software (DPCS). This Court also finds that the respondents themselves have included a degree in Computer Science in their notification dated 14.3.2016 issued by the Department of Personnel, which is further clarified by the order dated 11.7.2018, whereby the subject of Computer in degree may be optional, compulsory or additional. 5. In light of the aforesaid the present writ petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to consider candidature of the petitioner for appointment on the post of LDC in pursuance of advertisement of the year 2013 while treating him to be having a valid qualification of Computer Application obtained in Graduation and provide him appointment on the post of LDC if he is otherwise eligible and meritorious within a period of 60 days from today." 3. Learned counsel for the respondents is not in a position to dispute that the issue raised in the present writ petition is squarely covered by judgment in Heera Lal Jat (supra). 4. In view of the above, the writ petition filed by the petitioner is allowed with the similar direction as given in the case of Heera Lal Jat (supra) with the additional stipulation that the above relief would be applicable only if the vacancies are available.
