Thus, this is in violation of Articles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">16<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Rajasthan High Court observed that the relaxation provided for the Ex-servicemen in the Rajasthan Police Subordinate Service Rules, 1989 is not applicable in the present case. The High Court also said that physical fitness is a vital aspect for the post of Forest Guard requiring the selected candidates to endure tough conditions such as mountain climbing and treading through rough terrains, thus the job profile is such that demands physical movement and involves strenuous work, making it crucial that the persons so selected for the post in question maintain a certain standard of physical fitness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court issued notice and directed that steps to be taken as per the Rajasthan Forest Subordinate Service Rules, 2015<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The matter will next be taken up on 19-07-2024.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Prakash
