The bench of Justice Kuldeep Mathur held that where a candidate was convicted, decision to deny public employment could not be taken mechanically. Rather, the appointing authority is obligated to examine such cases to see whether the offences for which the candidate was convicted involved moral turpitude or violence.Rajasthan High Court Orders 46 Years' Disability Pension Arrears To Ex-Air Force Corporal, Says Benefit Can't Be Denied Due To State InactionTitle: Ratti Ram v Union of India & Ors.Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 256The Rajasthan High Court has granted relief to an Ex-Corporal of the Indian Air Force whose disability pension was discontinued in 1980 owing to pending re-assessment of his disability. Even after the disability was assessed to be in continuation, the Armed Forces Tribunal directed payment of arrears only since 2019, instead of calculating it from the date of discontinuity.The division bench of Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Justice Nupur Bhati highlighted that no reason was assigned by the Tribunal to resume the disability pension from a random date in 2019.“The petitioner, an ex-serviceman now aged 79 years, has been suffering from Bronchial Asthma since his days of active service to the nation. He has been deprived of his rightful disability pension for over four decades through no fault of his own. The purpose of disability pension is to provide sustenance and recognition to those who have suffered in the course of serving the nation. Any interpretation that defeats this purpose must be eschewed.”Rajasthan High Court Orders Inquiry Into Alleged Record Manipulation At Service TribunalTitle: Shravan Lal Khorwal v State of RajasthanThe Rajasthan High Court in an April 17 order, directed inquiry into a service tribunal over alleged record manipulation.This, after Justice Ravi Chirania was dissatisfied with the Registrar's explanation who had tried to "shift the burden" on a clerk."This Court finds this justification highly unreasonable and false on the face of the record. The concerned clerk who committed this mistake has not been named in the affidavit, therefore, the justification does not appears to be correct and satisfactory," the bench observed.The petitioner contended that in an open court, the Tribunal had issued notices and stayed the impugned order. However, no certified copy of the order was made available. Further, instead of recording the stay order in the case file, a completely different order of a later date, that was never listed before the Tribunal, was recorded as per which the stay was declined.National Interest Prevail Over Individual Convenience: Rajasthan High Court Upholds IAF Officer's Transfer Despite Parents' Medical HardshipTitle: Union of India & Ors. v Sqn. Ldr. Deepak SandhuCitation: 2026 LiveLaw (Raj) 254The Rajasthan High Court has upheld the transfer of a Squadron Leader, Indian Air Force who had challenged the same owing to critical medical condition of his parents. The Court opined that humane considerations, towards the compassionate circumstances, alone could not override the paramount considerations of organizational discipline, operational preparedness, and service requirements of Armed Forces. “Though compassionate circumstances may certainly constitute a relevant factor for consideration while examining the legality or fairness of a transfer order, such considerations cannot be treated as a sine qua non for judicial interference, particularly in matters concerning the Armed Forces where national interest, strategic deployment and administrative exigencies must necessarily receive primacy over individual convenience.”The division bench of Dr. Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Dr. Justice Nupur Bhati further opined that Policy for Posting of...
