Issues:
Validity of order based on petitioner's lack of computer education qualification.

Analysis:
The petitioner filed a writ petition challenging an order citing lack of required computer education qualification. The petitioner's counsel argued that a previous judgment in Heera Lal Jat v. State of Raj. & Ors. had set a precedent regarding computer qualifications. The court in the previous case had ruled that a person with a Computer Application qualification in graduation should be considered qualified for computer-related positions. The court noted that the respondents themselves had included a degree in Computer Science in their notification, indicating flexibility in the subject's requirement. The court allowed the present writ petition, directing the respondents to consider the petitioner for appointment as an LDC, given his Computer Application qualification, within 60 days if vacancies were available.

The respondent's counsel did not contest that the issue raised in the current petition was covered by the judgment in Heera Lal Jat's case. The court, therefore, allowed the petitioner's writ petition with a similar direction as in the Heera Lal Jat case, emphasizing that the relief granted would be subject to the availability of vacancies. The judgment highlighted the importance of considering qualifications broadly and ensuring fair opportunities for candidates with relevant educational backgrounds, as established in previous legal precedents.
