| 1 | CRLMB / 2242 / 2026 (WARIS ALIAS LAHAKI VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 27/03/2026 Applicants sought regular bail in connection with offences under the BNS arising from an alleged ATM theft. HELD – Criminal antecedents alone cannot justify refusal of bail. Court held that community service may be imposed as a condition of bail in appropriate non-heinous cases as a reformative measure under the BNSS to facilitate rehabilitation & prevent recidivism. Such conditions must have a nexus with the administration of justice and should not be imposed in gender-sensitive offences. |
| 2 | SAW / 327 / 2026 (MAHIPAL VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/03/2026 Appellant challenged the cancellation of a Gram Panchayat patta granted in his favour. HELD- A patta issued in violation of the mandatory statutory procedure and in favour of a close relative of the Sarpanch, resulting in conflict of interest, nepotism and favouritism, is legally unsustainable. Possession, construction or investment cannot validate an allotment founded on illegality. The Collector rightly exercised revisional jurisdiction under Section 97. Appeal dismissed. |
| 3 | CRLW / 410 / 2026 (NARAYAN ALIAS RAM NARAYAN VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/03/2026 Petitioner challenged the rejection of his application for second parole on the ground that the victim and the convict resided in the same village. HELD-Parole, being an integral facet of the reformative theory of punishment, cannot be denied on speculative apprehensions absent tangible material showing a real and imminent threat. The rights of the victim and the convict's rehabilitation must be balanced by imposing appropriate conditions rather than refusing parole. Petition allowed. |
| 4 | CW / 12461 / 2024 (KHUSHBU CHOUDHARY VS RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT) Date of Order/Judgment: 12/03/2026 Petitioner challenged the final answer key of the Rajasthan Judicial Service Preliminary Examination. HELD-In academic evaluation, the Court does not sit as an appellate authority over the final answer key approved by the Expert Committee. A plausible alternative view is no ground for interference. Judicial interference is warranted only if the answer key is manifestly arbitrary or perverse, or a clear and indisputable error is established. The writ petition was dismissed. |
| 5 | CMA / 1393 / 2008 (OM PRAKASH AND ORS. VS BALWANT AND ORS.) Date of Order/Judgment: 26/02/2026 Appellants challenged the dismissal of their suit under Order XI Rule 21 CPC for alleged non-compliance with an order directing production of documents. HELD – Proceedings under Order XI Rule 21(1) CPC cannot be initiated for non-compliance of an order passed under Order XI Rule 14 CPC. An order under Rule 21 requires willful default, obstinacy or contumacy in disregarding the Court's order. As these were absent, the impugned order was set aside and the suit was restored. |
| 6 | CW / 3778 / 2026 (MOHD. SABEER KHAN VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 25/02/2026 Petitioner challenged a show cause notice proposing penalty for alleged illegal mining based on a drone survey without supply of the relied-upon survey report. HELD–Non-disclosure of the material relied upon fundamentally denies a meaningful and effective opportunity of hearing under the audi alteram partem rule. Furnishing selective particulars is no substitute for disclosure of the entire material. Such notice is amenable to writ jurisdiction and liable to be quashed. |
| 7 | CW / 1439 / 2026 (M/S UJJAIN DREAMS VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/02/2026 Petitioner challenged the tender process for operation of boating services at Nakki Lake. HELD-Judicial review in tender matters is confined to the decision-making process. Where only one bidder remains responsive, strict compliance with Rule 68 of the Rajasthan Transparency in Public Procurement Rules, 2013 is mandatory. Failure to record reasons and prepare the prescribed justification note vitiates the process. The writ petition was allowed and the impugned NIT was quashed. |
| 8 | CW / 16944 / 2021 (NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE CONSUMERS FEDERATION OF INDIA LTD. VS MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES FACILITATION COUNCIL) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/02/2026 Petitioners challenged the award passed by the Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Council alleging non-following of the procedure prescribed under Section 18 of the MSMED Act. HELD-Even if the statutory procedure was not followed, such ground would fall within the ambit of Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act. Writ jurisdiction cannot be exercised where a specific alternative remedy under a specific statute is provided. The writ petition was dismissed as not maintainable. |
| 9 | CW / 18888 / 2022 (HARJI RAM VS LICHHMAN RAM) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/02/2026 Petitioners challenged rejection of their impleadment application under Order I Rule 10 CPC in proceedings under Section 251-A of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act, 1955. HELD–The competent authority must undertake a comprehensive and comparative evaluation of all feasible alternative routes. "Necessity" means absolute necessity and not mere convenience or preference. The enquiry is not confined to the route proposed by the applicant. The impugned orders were quashed and set aside. |
| 10 | CRLW / 603 / 2026 (JITENDRA SINGH VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 12/02/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of an FIR under the Arms Act, alleging implication solely on a co-accused's disclosure statement. HELD- A co-accused's disclosure may warrant a deeper investigation, and an FIR disclosing a cognizable offence cannot ordinarily be quashed at that stage. Where the accused is already in judicial custody, the investigating agency must establish, through objective material, the means of his alleged involvement. The writ petition was partly allowed. |
| 11 | CRLMP / 2676 / 2024 (JAI KISHAN VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 10/02/2026 Petitioner challenged concurrent orders refusing interim compensation under Section 143A of the NI Act. HELD – The statutory bar against a second revision under Section 397(3) CrPC cannot be circumvented by changing the nomenclature of the proceeding. Courts must look to the substance of the relief claimed. Inherent jurisdiction cannot substitute an exhausted revisional remedy except in cases of patent illegality or manifest miscarriage of justice. The petition was dismissed. |
| 1 | CRLMP / 3729 / 2024 (ACHLESHWER MEENA S/O SH. JATASHANKER MEENA, VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/03/2026 Petitioner challenged the FIR and consequential proceedings alleging investigation in violation of statutory procedure and constitutional safeguards. HELD-Investigation before registration of FIR is impermissible. The nature of police action, not its description as a "discreet enquiry", determines its legality. Telephone interception without satisfying Section 5(2) of the Telegraph Act and Rule 419-A violates Articles 21 and 22. FIR, charge-sheet and consequential proceedings quashed. |
| 2 | CW / 6884 / 2025 (THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN VS M/S ADVENT ENVIROCARE TECHNOLOGY PVT. LTD.) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/03/2026 Petitioners challenged the Executing Court's order fastening liability upon non-parties in execution of an arbitral award. HELD–Execution is a mechanism for enforcement of an adjudicated liability and not a forum for creation or enlargement thereof. The Executing Court cannot travel beyond the arbitral award or enlarge the decree beyond its terms. The impugned order was set aside, the matter remanded, and pending applications stood disposed of accordingly. |
| 3 | CRLMP / 7231 / 2025 (JITENDRA MEENA @ JITENDRA MATSYA S/O KALYAN SAHAI MATSYA, VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 16/03/2026 Petitioner sought quashing of the FIR alleging a civil dispute and successive FIR, while the complainant sought expeditious investigation. HELD- Where an FIR discloses a cognizable offence, its correctness cannot be examined under Sec 482 CrPC. Noticing inordinate delay in investigation, the Court directed formulation of a policy separating the investigation and law-and-order wings to ensure speedier and effective investigation, and expeditious submission of the report u/Sec 173 CrPC. |
| 4 | CRLW / 51 / 2016 (SUBHASH SAINI VS STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND ANR) Date of Order/Judgment: 12/03/2026 Petitioner challenged the rejection of his application seeking withdrawal of consent for a Narco Analysis Test. HELD-Consent once given for a Narco Analysis Test cannot be treated as irrevocable and may be withdrawn before its administration. Conducting the test against the accused's free will and consent violates Articles 20(3) and 21, the right to remain silent and the protection against self-incrimination. Writ petition allowed. |
| 5 | CW / 18360 / 2016 (PRATAP SINGH HADA VS RAJKUMAR JHAMB) Date of Order/Judgment: 10/03/2026 Petitioner-landlord challenged the reversal of the eviction decree, contending that the Appellate Rent Tribunal wrongly negatived his bona fide requirement. HELD-Satisfaction of the bona fide requirement of one family member does not extinguish the independent requirement of another. Bona fide need cannot be negatived on irrelevant considerations. A tenant cannot dictate the manner or place of the landlord's business. Writ petition allowed. |
| 6 | CW / 7902 / 2003 (KALYAN PRASAD VS R S R T C JAIPUR AND ANR) Date of Order/Judgment: 25/02/2026 Petitioner challenged the order directing a de novo inquiry on the same charges after the civil court decree setting aside his dismissal had attained finality. HELD- there was no order permitting reopening or initiating a fresh inquiry. The de novo inquiry was initiated after 11 years on the same charges. As the respondents failed to justify the delay or show it was attributable to the petitioner, and no order authorized a fresh inquiry, the impugned order was set aside. |
| 7 | CMA / 5078 / 2025 (PEER GHULAM NASEER VS ISHTIYAQ AHMED SON OF GHULAM MOINUDDIN) Date of Order/Judgment: 24/02/2026 Appellant challenged the order restoring the suit after rejection of the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 CPC. HELD- the plaint disclosed no cause of action and sought to reopen a dispute already decided up to the Supreme Court. A meaningful reading of the plaint showed no clear right to sue, and the suit amounted to an abuse of the judicial process. The appellate order was set aside and the trial court's order rejecting the plaint under Order VII Rule 11 CPC was restored. |
| 8 | CR / 69 / 2026 (CHARAN SINGH KHANGAROT SON OF LATE SHRI MUKAT SINGH KHANGAROT VS RAGHUNATH SINGH S/O COLONEL KESRI SINGH) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/02/2026 Petitioner challenged the rejection of his objections under Section 47 CPC against execution of a decree. HELD – An aggrieved party cannot pursue two parallel remedies against the self-same judgment simultaneously, as it amounts to an abuse of the process of law. Having already filed a statutory appeal against the decree, the petitioner's objections under Section 47 CPC were held not maintainable. The revision petition was dismissed with liberty to raise all grounds in the pending appeal. |
| 9 | CW / 12449 / 2020 (MOTI LAL MEENA S/O SHRI KANA RAM MEENA VS THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN) Date of Order/Judgment: 17/02/2026 Petitioners challenged the constitutional validity of Rules 35, 36 and 39 of the Rajasthan Jails Subordinate Service Rules, 1998. HELD-Subordinate legislation can be declared ultra vires only on recognised constitutional grounds. Petitioners failed to show any ground to declare the impugned Rules ultra vires. Having exercised their option under Rule 35 and accepted the promotions granted to them, they could not subsequently question the validity of those Rules. Writ petitions dismissed. |
| 10 | CW / 17163 / 2024 (LARSEN AND TOUBRO LTD. VS UNION OF INDIA) Date of Order/Judgment: 13/02/2026 Petitioner challenged GST adjudication orders passed in the name of an amalgamating company which had ceased to exist. HELD-An order cannot be passed in the name of a non-existent entity. As the CGST Act provides no mechanism for automatic cancellation of GST registration upon amalgamation, the earlier GST registration shall be deemed cancelled and the new GST registration become operational. Limitation shall be governed by Section 75(3) of the CGST Act. Writ petitions were disposed of. |
