JODHPUR/ JAIPUR, Jan. 1 -- The year 2025 has witnessed several historic and far-reaching judgments for Rajasthan from a judicial perspective, delivered by the Supreme Court and the high court. These decisions have not only given a new direction to the interpretation of law but have also strengthened human rights, civil rights, constitutional values, and the judicial process. Rajasthan high court on August 28 cancelled the sub-inspector recruitment examination 2021, which was notified to hire 859 people in the vacant posts, over a large-level paper leak allegations across the state prompting the Special Operation Group (SOG) to arrest at least 122 people since March 2024, said officials. The single bench of the court presided over by justice Sameer Jain, also questioned the credibility of the RPSC and directed to reconstruct it. However, the state government moved a division bench of the court in September challenging the single bench's order. The Rajasthan high court on December 19 refused to order the immediate conduct of student union elections for the 2025-26 academic year on procedural grounds, but issued detailed guidelines regarding such elections in the future. Justice Sameer Jain, while disposing of petitions filed by a group of students, issued a key directive ordering university authorities to convene a meeting on January 19, 2026, with the petitioners and representatives of all affiliated colleges. The purpose of this meeting is to hear grievances and jointly develop a methodology for conducting student union elections in the future. The Supreme Court's decision regarding the increasing pollution in the Jojari, Bandi, and Luni rivers of Western Rajasthan was considered the most important judgment of 2025. Considering the threat to the lives, health, and livelihoods of approximately 2 million people, the court directed the formation of a high-level ecological monitoring committee.

The court sought a response from the state government on petitions challenging the validity of this law. The Rajasthan high court said that foreign nationals also have the right to a speedy trial and personal liberty under the Constitution.

Decisions such as creating a legal framework for the mandatory registration of live-in relationships, granting equal rights to tribal women in ancestral property, and reaffirming the right of two consenting adults to live together strengthened social equality. Petitions challenging the land acquisition for the proposed Air Force complex near the international border with Rajasthan were dismissed.
