Madhya Pradesh High Court (Division Bench (DB)- Two Judge)

WRIT PETITION, 12716 of 2018, Judgment Date: Jun 27, 2018

Law Laid Down -

Madhya Pradesh Junior Administrative Service (Recruitments and Service Conditions of Service) Rules, 2011 (for short “the 2011 Rules”) contemplate that the candidates should have served at least for five years as Patwari in permanent or officiating capacity. In terms of the Scheme of appointment and the 2011 Rules, the petitioners were appointed to the service only after completion of training and on qualifying the written examination. Therefore, the period prior to their appointment to the service cannot be counted as permanent or officiating experience on the post of Patwari. The training is prior to appointment, therefore, cannot be taken into consideration for the purposes of experience for the post of Naib Tehsildar.
