(ii) All the candidates will be required to submit a copy of the experience certificate, issued by the concerned agency/NGO/ respective authorities while submitting application for experience certificate.

(v) All the candidates will be permitted to submit their online application form (upto the last date) with the claim of bonus marks, even without uploading the experience certificate. (vi) After the process of submitting online application form is over, the recruiting authority will open the window/website at least for a period of seven days and permit the candidates to amend/modify their application form (if required) and allow the candidates to upload the experience certificate whose certificates will be issued after 16.01.2023.

Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. (vii) Considering the judgments of this Court rendered in the case of Mahipal Lakhera Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2577/2020 decided on 11.01.2021 and Sanwar Mal Saran & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. : S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.12080/2018, decided on 28.08.2018, it is directed that the candidates who have worked in 108 Ambulance and Mobile Medical Units will apply for experience certificate with copies of their earlier experience certificates issued in the year 2013/2018. The concerned CMHOs will accordingly verify them and issue experience certificate in the new format, considering the judgments rendered in the cases of Mahipal Lakhera (supra) and Sanwar Mal Saran (supra). (viii) The CMHOs concerned shall confine themselves to issue experience certificate after verifying the facts regarding experience gained on a particular post, without bothering themselves about candidate's eligibility/ entitlement for a particular post and/or bonus marks. They will obviously examine the actual work performed by the candidates. 12. Needless to observe that above directions have been issued only for the purpose of issuing the certificates. Mere grant of experience certificate will not confer any right upon the candidates to claim bonus marks. It will be open for the respondents to verify the veracity and entitlement of individual candidates on the basis of the experience gained, nature of work performed and applicable law. 13. The Director (Non-Gazetted) shall issue a circular and inform all concerned incorporating above directions and all other requisite instructions within a period of three days. 14.
