High Court dismisses Raj govt's appeal

Jaipur, Sep 16(UNI) The Rajasthan High Court has upheld the verdict of its single bench which had earlier set aside the state government's order for dismissal of 48 Ayurvedic nurses and compounders.

Dismissing the appeal moved by the government challenging the single bench's verdict against its order of termination of services of 48 nurses and compounders, a division bench comprising Justices RC Gandhi and Justice RS Chauhan yesterday held that the single bench's verdict in the case was in order.
