Jaipur: Rajasthan High Court Thursday lifted the ban on interviews for Sanskrit Assistant Professor Recruitment-2024, asserting that the selection process should restart based on old rules, requiring candidates to obtain 40% in each written exam. The division bench of Chief Justice MM Srivastava and Justice Chandra Prakash Shrimali issued the order while hearing a petition filed by Manoj Kumar and others in which the state and RPSC pleaded for the ban on interviews to be lifted. Additional attorney general GS Gill and advocate MF Baig, representing RPSC, argued that interviews for 200 recruitment posts were in limbo as a result of the stay orders. Advocate Harendra Neel told court that RPSC’s Jan 2024 recruitment notice for posts of Assistant Professor Sahayak Acharaya in Sanskrit education mandated that candidates obtain at least 40% marks in each written paper to make the cut for the interview. However, petitioners claimed the state govt changed the rules on Feb 25,. TNN
